What is "Sea Brass"

All brass alloys resist corrosion well, including in water containing an increased content of water-soluble salts. However, there is a group of brasses, the performance properties of which are especially demanded in the marine industry. These are so called sea brasses. They are distinguished by the following properties:

  • Small quantities of antimony and arsenic are necessarily present in the composition of these alloys;
  • Marine brass is characterized by high lead and tin content;
  • Unlike copper, the anti-corrosive properties of marine brass are preserved even when sea water is noticeably moving around the parts.
  • Brass products also have good corrosion resistance in humid atmospheres of ports and harbors and are therefore used as coating elements in hangars and workshops.

Supplier Evek GmbH offers to buy brass rolled products of domestic and foreign production at an affordable price in a wide range. Provide product delivery anywhere in the continent. The price is optimal.

Brass in marine transport

In many cases, high-strength marine brass is used to make propellers of marine vessels. This takes advantage of their higher cathodic protection performance in a weak electrolyte environment such as seawater. Unlike silicon bronzes, marine brass does not lose zinc during propeller operation, which has a beneficial effect on the durability of the parts.

Admiralty Brass

Foundry brass alloy containing up to 2% of tin is used for production. This alloy is depleted of zinc and enriched with lead. The resulting alloy is called Admiralty Brass. The result is increased resistance to pitting and marine corrosion, which is especially evident in high water turbulence that occurs during propeller operation. During ship docking the propeller surfaces are deaerated, thus removing surface deposits of salts that are insoluble in seawater.
