I am working with a customer who wants components made for high end handbags, I am interested in finding out what materials work best for these type of items, we are looking for two colours non precious metal that will hold its finish and not tarnish. Yellow brass and white metal
I have not worked with these materials and some parts will have to be die struck and others will be cast and finished. My only experience with brass it cutting metal molds and practicing with my new GRS tools.
Years ago we tried casting and it was too smokey for the enclosed casting machine to work and I don't have the patience to torch melt for castings to spoiled I guess?
What metal holds a finish and keeps its colour and engraving etc.
Will I have to cast with brass and then process and plate it etc.
Any advise would be appreciated
