Advantage of RCI Brass Strips over other local manufacturers :

1. Finish : Rolls for this Rolling Mill are very sender. Hence, Rolls are changed for each coil after grinding and polishing. This ensures better surface finish & shine and eliminates chances of roll marks on the material.

2. Gauge : Accuracy of the thickness is much better. Our Rolling Mill can achieve Gauge Tolerance of ± 0.01 mm on thicker material and on ± 0.005 mm on thin materials. This is not possible from 4 Hi Rolling Mill.

3. This mill has on line gauge sensing devices (flying micro-meters) for indicating the gauge variation continuously. Hence, thickness variation if any, can be corrected continuously. In thinner materials, gauge accuracy may result in upto 10% more production of components.

4. Since we are manufacturing more than 50% of our material as thin foils, we have to ensure a very high standard of quality right from melting to finishing stage. To produce thin strips, we do not accept any scrap or impure raw materials in our melting.

5. We have better control over hardness. We can supply material within ± 8 HV Hardness for Half Hard tempers. Due to our fine grain size and polished Rolls, processes of pickling, buffing and plating come out better at customer’s end.

6. Since we are manufacturing strips using Hot-Rolling method, we are able to supply Brass Strips in Alloy 63/37 whereas others are using continuous casting route and can only supply Alloy 65/35. The main advantage of this is that color of our strips is Golden Yellow and is most suitable for art ware and jewelry. Whereas colour of 65/35 alloy is Greenish Yellow. Hot Rolling method removes various defects like Blowholes, Slivers and micro porosity usually associated with continuous cast strips. Hot Rolling ensures finer grain structure.

7. Our 20 Hi Mill has state of the art electronic controls to ensure consistent gauge throughout the length and width of material.

8. We have small sized batch annealing furnace. We anneal only 2000 Kg. material at a time. Hence, we can “Custom Anneal” each parties material to specific requirements to attain desired hardness, cupping & grain size. Other manufacturers anneal 5-8 M.T. at a time, thereby clubbing orders of various parties and compromising on quality.

9. Using of RCI Quality Brass is economical in terms of material saving, fewer rejections as well as longer life of dies and punches all due to a very precise gauge control, smooth surface and consistent temper.
