Brass Electrode Wire MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Brass Content, Less Than 50% & Equal or Above 50%

• Lower than 50%: These electrode wires containing less than 50% of brass composition can be substituted with such multi-metal combination wires as having a higher proportion of elements like copper, zinc and nickel where exact brass wires are not required. These wires are selected most often on account of their cost effectiveness and multi-purposeless (appropriate for a variety of welding and EDM tasks which do not demand electrically conductive properties to be improved by brass rich wires). Wire with less than 50% brass composition address usual welding and machining necessities that occur in a number of industries, giving adequate conductivity and performance at a price affording for all.

• Equal or Above 50%: These electrode wires, whose brass alloy content are at least 50 percent, have been designed and constructed to offer high conductivity, durability and precision and thereby, they are suitable for demanding welding and EDM applications. These wires with a higher brass concentration will possess increased durability against wear and tear, corrosion, and heat which will enable the parts to perform repeatedly and consistently even in harsh environments.
