Types of Brass Moulding Inserts - A Manufacturers Guide

Brass moulding inserts are made of brass and copper alloy and is used for brass moulding inserts rod which is used for casting and extrusion. It is generally is measures in ISO Metric and consist of BA Threads andBSW Threads which is thus measured in inches.

The most common tread length ranges from 1/8" to 1" which is used for brass moulding inserts. Along with various lengths there are various shapes as well. Such as follows

Brass Moulding Insert Shapes:

1. Round Knurled Insert

Round knurled insert as the name suggest is a round at the top and is of reddish brown colour. It is availablein various sizes but mostly with a diameter size of 3mm / 3/25" and height of 4mm / 5/32".One round knurled insert weighs 4g and generally is available in a pack of 10

2. Hexagonal Insert (Hex Insert)

Hexagonal insert which is also known as a hex insert is used for fastening and helps in providing a grooving effect. The best part about hexagonal insert is that it has one sided effect and provides a high intensity rotation.it can be used for metal, plastic as well as rubber. Just like the round knurled insert the hexagonal insert also boosts from a high intensity mechanism. However it is regarded as more effective when compared to the round knurled insert.

3. Double Hex Insert

In order to fit application on various materials such as rubber, plastic and thermoplastic, double hex insert is best to use. The double hex inserts make use of the best quality brass which not only provides strength and also variety of features. Double hex inserts guarantee number of features which can be obtained at the best price.

4. Square Insert

Square inserts are generally used on softer material so that they give a good degree of torque resistant and all other kind of resistant. They come with deep a groove which holds it on to the material and provides excellent grip. They are normally more than 3mm of the thread size.

They also make sure that there is a uniform heat transfer. They may be lightweight but offer great resistant. At the bottom of the square insert is measured by the depth of thread and is measured by the overall length.

Key Features Of The Brass Inserts Which Are Used In Much Use For Various Industries:

Unlike iron, brass is rust proof.It is an alloy of copper and zinc and does not corrode easily. Because of this feature it one of the most appropriate material to be used as an insert. It is lightweight but because of all the characters of zinc and copper, it has relatively greater strength than any other metal.

It is very simple to install and very simple to use. Since it is very light weight therefore it can be used in variety of ways. Because of its inherent features especially light weight and its strength it is one of the best used insert which is used in the manufacturing process.

Brass as a metal is blessed with a bright colour which not only looks great but also does not require any polish. Once the brass moulding inserts are used, they provide a good look and an excellent finish.
