Brass is an amalgamate of copper and zinc. It's occasionally confused with bronze which is totally different amalgamate of copper and tin. Brass can be cast into many forms. The method of casting brass should only be done by someone who knows about metals.

Brass Casting
Casting is a method by which a molten metal, is introduced in the mold and kept in it to solidify. It is then taken out and made into a fabricated part. Brass casting is a technique of casting the molten brass. It is especially really deserving for the cheap production of difficult shapes. The products made by the brass casting are used in many forms. There exists many number of Brass casting processes like Sand casting, Plaster casting, Die casting, and so on.

Processes of Brass Casting
Sand casting is the method by which large parts of brass are manufactured by pouring the molten brass into the hole formed out of natural and / or man-made sand. For simple brass casting, the beach sand can be employed. Sand casting system of brass casting has higher level of lead content, about 7-8%. This technique offer many advantages like it's not at all pricey for low quantities, aside from brass ferrous and non ferrous metals can be casted, and large parts are feasible to cast.

Die casting is the process by which the brass is injected into the mould under very high pressure. Die casting of brass, ends in an uniform brass part having top class surface finish and correct dimensions. Die casting is done by two processes - Cold chamber and hot chamber. Aside from these, this technique of brass casting has an advantage that the brass products require a minimum machining after. There exists some constraints too of this method of brass casting like, it is extraordinarily high-priced for low amounts and it's very tough for the applications related to hydrostatic pressure.
