Description
Summary:The modifying possibility of the commercial CuZn37 brass (M63) with nickel and silicon is being discussed throughout the article. The proposed alloy additives made it possible to improve the commercial brass properties by precipitation hardening, thus making it extremely competitive in comparison to base material. The study also discussed the conditions (temperature and time) of the metallurgical synthesis and its influence on the weight percentage of not only proposed alloy additives but also the amount of zinc loss from the commercial brass due to the evaporation during the metallurgical processes.
