SAE 1008 Brass-plated introduction
Tata Steel offers a range of cold-rolled steel strip products
electroplated with brass. These products have excellent
performance features and provide a cost-effective
alternative to solid brass.
Our brass-plated steel products are used in
numerous applications from sporting ammunition
to household goods. Their consistent quality enables
trouble-free processing.
Our cold-rolled steel strip is manufactured to consistently tight dimensional
tolerances. Stringent process control ensures excellent adhesion of the pure
brass layer during electroplating. The finished product has a brass layer that
is uniform, clean and free of oxides. Our products are available in a choice of
surface finish to suit your applications.
Tata Steel’s brass-plated steel strip products offer significant benefits
for your processing operations. They have outstanding formability.
Their deep-drawing properties enable reliable production of
components in demanding shapes.
For added benefits, we can tailor our products to meet your exact
processing and end-product requirements.
Main benefits of our brass-plated steel include:
end-products of consistent and reliable quality
improved end-product performance
trouble-free, repeatable processing
minimised waste
extended tool life
control of substrate and base metal properties
