The development trend of brass in the automotive industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

The driving role of new energy vehicles: With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the application of brass and its alloys in the automotive industry will increase significantly. The motors and battery systems of new energy vehicles require extensive use of brass materials because brass has good electrical and thermal conductivity. For example, the use of copper in new energy vehicles will increase significantly based on traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, which is an important growth point for the brass industry1.

Technological progress and innovation: In order to meet the needs of new energy vehicles and other high-end manufacturing industries, the development and application of high-performance copper alloy materials are constantly advancing. These materials have high strength, high electrical conductivity,

high corrosion resistance and other properties, and are suitable for various complex and precise automotive parts. At present, China has made certain progress in the field of advanced copper alloy materials, but it still relies on imported materials. In the future, it is expected to reduce this dependence through technological innovation3.

Construction of electric vehicle charging infrastructure: With the popularity of electric vehicles, the corresponding charging infrastructure also requires a large amount of brass materials. This includes not only the charging pile itself, but also the related power grid upgrades and transformations, which are emerging application areas for brass materials4.

Environmental protection and sustainability requirements: In the context of the pursuit of carbon neutrality and environmental protection, the importance of brass as a recyclable material will be further enhanced. The automotive industry is increasingly using recyclable materials to reduce environmental impact, which is also providing new opportunities for brass materials.

Changes in global market demand: With the development of global economy and technology, the demand for brass and its alloy materials is shifting from the traditional European and American markets to developing countries such as China and India. The rapid development of the automobile and electronic industries in these countries has provided a broad market space for brass materials.

Interior trim parts:
Interior trim parts such as emblems, buttons, and decorative strips in certain high-end cars may use CNC brass machining to provide unique visual effects and tactile effects.
CNC machining technology allows the production of precise, complex, and consistent brass parts, which is essential to meet the high standards and performance requirements of the automotive industry. As automotive technology develops, the application of CNC brass parts is likely to expand further.
