Brass Circle
Overview
MEI’s brass circles are blanked from drawing-quality rolled sheet and annealed for maximum ductility, making them the preferred input for utensil spinners and
deep-drawing units in the Jagadhri, Moradabad, and Jamnagar clusters. Available in diameters from 20 mm to 1500 mm, with controlled grain size so the metal
flows evenly on the lathe or press, giving a smooth surface that polishes beautifully.

WHY MEI
We sit at the heart of North India’s utensil belt and tune our annealing specifically for spinning and drawing — fewer cracks, less earing, better yield. Lead-free MEI-63L circles certified Pb ≤ 50 ppm for food-contact applications.
