Hot Stamping Brass: Screw Presses for Sanitary Fittings and Valves

Forged Beats Cast for Pressure Parts

Cast brass can hide porosity — microscopic voids that become leak paths under pressure. Hot stamping, which is forging brass at roughly 700 to 750 degrees Celsius on a friction screw press, compresses the metal solid, eliminates porosity, and aligns grain flow with the part shape. The result is denser, stronger, pressure-tight fittings.

The Process

Brass rod is cut to billets, induction heated, single-blow stamped in a closed die, trimmed, and then machined for threads. The factory cost difference versus casting is smaller than the retail quality gap suggests.

Applications

Sanitary fittings, valve bodies, gas parts, and electrical brass components — proven across the Jamnagar and Ludhiana brass clusters.
