Deep drawing is a wonderful process where a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die cavity by the mechanical action of a punch. This results in a “deep” shape, e.g., a cylinder. Our experts at JCL ensure that your brass deep drawing components will stand the test of time as they are made with high-quality brass with tenacious strength.
We work with integrity and skilled engineers, as well as state-of-the-art technology, to ensure you receive the best quality from us.
Brass is made of two metals: copper and zinc. The proportions of zinc and copper required depend on the color that needs to be achieved, though copper is always used more in terms of proportion, generally around 66%. The inclusion of more copper over zinc results in softer brass with a gold-like appearance. Meanwhile, using more zinc leads to a silvery appearance and a harder brass.
Brass sometimes also includes other elements, such as lead and aluminum, though in very small amounts.
Due to its malleable nature and low melting point, brass is a popular choice for many everyday objects like doorknobs, cutlery, hinges, etc.
It is an alloy of copper and zinc, sometimes also referred to as copper alloy (by historians) if the distinction between bronze and brass is not clear.
It has low friction compared to other metals.
It is not ferromagnetic.
Brass is easily recyclable. In fact, 90% of brass used is recycled.
It has antibacterial properties.
It is resistant to corrosion.
If brass makes contact with a “less-noble” metal, the metal in question will corrode instead of the brass.
Cylindrical components: Cups/cylindrical brass shapes are used in automotive, electronic prototyping, containers, casings, and connectors, e.g., for bullet cartridges and water heaters.
Boxed-shaped components: Enclosures such as boxed-shaped components are used for electronic devices and sensors.
Hollow cylinders: Hollow cylinders are used in many industries, such as plumbing and automotive.
Precision components: These are usually used for their mainplates in watches and clocks.
Custom shapes: Brass is malleable and, therefore, can be deeply drawn to create custom and complex shapes.

Deep Drawing Brass in Automotive Industry
Brass deep-drawing stampings are used in the automotive industry, such as to convey fuel through an injector cup through a fuel line to a fuel rail. They are also used in automotive metal stamping parts, such as automotive oxygen sensors due to their heat and wear resistance.
Deep Drawing Brass in Plumbing industry
Deep-drawn brass ferrules are used inside water heaters connecting applications due to their ductile nature to both hot and cold, which allows them to withstand contrasting temperatures. This ductility is also useful in the metal-forming process.
Deep Drawing Brass in Utensils
Deep drawn brass stampings is often used to make utensils in many parts of the world, such as India. Brass utensils help to keep foods warm for longer due to ductility. It is high in zinc, and therefore, cooking on it allows for more zinc to enter your body through food.
Deep Drawing Brass in Doorknobs
Deep drawn brass stampings is commonly used for doorknobs as it is a corrosive-resistant metal and is highly durable. Deep drawn brass stampings is also rust-free and can withstand wear and tear. With proper care and maintenance, brass doorknobs can last a long time.
Deep Drawing Brass in Musical instruments
Deep-drawn brass stampings are also often found in musical instruments. This is due to deep drawn brass being more malleable and corrosion-resistant. It also gives the instruments a shining golden color, which is appealing. You can see deep drawn brass being used for horns or trombones.
Brass is a standard metal used on many occasions due to its properties. You will see it being used in many industries, such as fishing and plumbing, due to its strength, corrosion, and rust resistance. Its properties and cheap quality make deep drawn brass an easy metal to use, especially due to its accessibility. That is why it is also heavily used for musical instruments, Most student-model flutes are made of brass due to easy availability.
Moreover, it is a versatile metal whose components can be altered depending on where it will be used. For example, “naval brass” (for use under seawater) contains 40% zinc and 1% tin, which reduces zinc’s leaching. For plumbing and pumping workings, any brass components used have to have over 15% zinc to be dezincification-resistant.

The deep drawing process involves custom sheet metal bending, unbending, stretching, compressing, and shearing of sheet metal materials.
Materials that are malleable and have low yield strength, such as brass, aluminum, copper alloys & titanium deep drawing, are ideal for deep drawing.
First and foremost, prepare the materials you need, along with measurements such as the shape and size needed and the length of the radii. Once the preparation stage is done, determine the proper thickness by the size of your product- the bigger the product is, the thicker it needs to be. To reduce friction, you will need to use lubricant. This will allow the brass to glide through the tools. You must also keep in mind that the die’s temperature and surface finish influence the quantity of lubricant needed. Consider your difference between the blank and the draw post as too much resistance will cause fracture low flow resistance will cause the brass to become too thin. Last but not least, prepare the correct binder pressure to ensure a good outcome.
Medical components: With medical stampings, casings and specialized medical components can be made with brass due to its antibacterial properties.
Aerospace parts: casings for sensors, for example, can be used in the aerospace industries due to brass’s corrosion and rust-resistant qualities.
Lamp shades: as brass has a greater workability, more intricate designs can be made by it, such as lamp shades, to create a visually appealing piece.
