Manufacturing Process
Four controlled steps from raw material to ingot.
Raw Material Sorting
Virgin copper and zinc and sorted brass scrap are checked and cleared of iron and foreign matter before melting.
Induction Melting
Medium-frequency induction furnaces limit oxidation and hold the copper to zinc ratio.
Spectrometer Correction
The melt is analysed on an OES and adjusted until it matches the grade.
Notch or Smooth Casting
Degassed metal is poured into water-cooled steel moulds to make 5-notch or smooth ingots.

Quality Assurance and Testing Lab
Every batch is tested before it ships.
-
OES Chemical Analysis Report
Each heat is checked on an optical emission spectrometer to confirm the elements.
-
Low Porosity
Degassing removes gas from the melt, so the ingot machines cleanly on CNC lathes.
-
Mill Test Certificate
Each shipment carries a batch test certificate with chemical results, to EN 10204 type 3.1.
