Brass Hammer and Copper Hammer
Why do we need to use a brass or copper hammer?
- Copper is relatively soft, making it ideal for hammering precision parts or fragile materials without leaving dents or causing damage, unlike steel hammers.
- Copper’s low carbon content and active properties prevent spark generation, making it safe for use in environments with flammable gases or dust, such as coal mines or oil depots.
What kind of situations require the use of a copper hammer?
- In flammable and explosive environments to ensure safety.
- When forging soft metals, a copper hammer ensures smooth execution of the forging process.
- For maintaining precision instruments to avoid damaging delicate components.
- When striking musical instruments to maintain their integrity and prolong their service life.
- In magnetic field environments, as copper hammers do not become magnetized and function safely.
What are the types of brass hammers?
Perhaps the most common use of brass hammer and copper hammer is to strike or peen mold and workpiece without inflicting any deformation on them. Usually one of the two materials is selected to make the hammer, either brass or pure copper.
Brass hammer is cheaper than pure copper type. It is favored by Middle Eastern customers. The nature of brass is malleable, wear resistant, and anti-magnetic. Hammers made of brass often have a bright yellow appearance and are usually put through the precision forging process.
Pure copper hammer generally costs more than brass type. However, it has become a preferred choice for customers from South America, North America, and United States. Pure copper is a ductile metal that conducts heat and electricity very well. Soft and malleable, this metal has a reddish colored surface. It is able to stay un-magnetized even in a strong magnetic field, with high resistance to wear, acid and alkali corrosion.
Typical applications of our brass hammer and copper hammer are in the petroleum, chemical, metal ore mining, coal mining, oil extraction, gas extraction, gas and oil transportation, electricity generation, metallurgical, aerospace, storage and transportation, pharmacy, plastics, fiber, leather, and firework industries.
