Typical materials: CW617N and various other grades of brass

Brass is a widely used metal mainly because of its workability, low melting point, electrical and thermal conductivity, and durability. It has low friction and high corrosion resistance making it one of the best materials for hose fittings. Due to these properties brass is also used in locks, gears, hinges, bearings, plumbing, valves, electrical sockets, and ammunition casings.

CW617N is classed as a stamping brass with high machinability and excellent hot forming properties. It is an alloy of nickel-plated brass, most commonly used for producing complex hot-pressed components.

Some of the benefits of CW617N are:

• Corrosion-resistance
• High machinability
• Excellent hot forming properties
• Suitable for brazing and soldering

Material composition:

• 58% copper
• 2% lead additive
• 0.3% maximum iron
• 0.7% maximum impurities
• Remaining zinc

Hot-working temperature range: 650-775°C (1202-1427°F)

Tensile strength: 380 MPa (55 ksi)

Common MOQ: 100 to 10,000 pcs

MOQ may be negotiated and customized. Typically, common or standardized parts have higher MOQ. Buyers are advised to be reasonable about the numbers.

Manufacturing methods: Hot forged and CNC machining

Brass is a malleable metal. Manufacturers use hot forging to shape the metal in the exact shape and size needed by the customer. The metal is first heated in a forge and then a compressive force is used to give it the desired shape.

Finished products are then CNC machined to get a precise and accurate finish. Special care is taken to ensure that the finished products exactly match the client’s specifications.

Manufacturing cluster area: Ningbo (Zhejiang province)

Ningbo is an important manufacturing center in China. It is well known for its materials engineering, product molding, and chemical formulation factories. It is well connected to the rest of Asia and the West, which is why it makes a great manufacturing hub choice.

Textiles, garments, auto parts, home electric appliances, plastic machines, and stationery are some of the major industries in the city.

Ningbo is one of the leading electric appliance manufacturing bases in the world. The city houses over 3,000 home electric appliance manufacturers and nearly 10,000 factories that produce electrical appliance parts and accessories. The annual turnover of the home electric appliance industry in Ningbo accounts for 30% of the entire industry in China.

Application: Plumbing, heating, and hydraulics

Y hose fittings are used in a wide range of low-pressure situations throughout the fluidic system. These connectors give better results as they create less solvent outgassing and turbulence.

Brass hose fittings are used to robustly and securely attach hoses to water and pressurized air outlets of various types. They are extremely versatile and are used in many domestic, industrial, and commercial settings. 

Hose fittings are an important component of plumbing and are extensively used in construction and manufacturing.

Common issues: Dimensional control

Our Chinese manufacturers deploy in-process quality checks to make sure that all components match the original design and specification given by you.

Quality Control

• CMM inspection to test the accuracy of the manufactured components
• Text jigs and fixtures to replicate manufactured products with consistent quality
