Cast, spun and hand-finished brass programmes from Moradabad.
§ Category overview
Brass programmes sourced from Moradabad — the world's densest concentration of brass craft (approximately 12,000 registered units). Alloy composition documented per SKU (CuZn30 for sand-cast structural, CuZn37 for spun forming). Finish library documented per SKU (electroplated, patinated, lacquered, brushed, antiqued).
Case studies cover 620-SKU brass programme scaling, hospitality lighting fixtures, decorative accessories, and brass component sourcing for mixed-material assemblies.

§ Frequently asked — brass sourcing
Why does alloy composition matter on a decorative brass SKU?
Brass alloy composition determines colour, workability and structural properties. Without explicit specification, Moradabad factories select the alloy most economically convenient — producing colour and finish variance across production runs.
How is post-shipment tarnishing prevented?
Lacquer film-thickness specification per SKU (25–40 microns for indoor, 40–60 microns for high-touch). Accelerated humidity + sulphur exposure test on golden sample verifies tarnish-resistance.
How is alloy composition verified?
Handheld XRF spectrometer at the anchor factory verifies incoming raw-material alloy composition per batch. Out-of-spec batches rejected at raw-material stage.
