CNC Machining Brass Parts
Brass is a popular material for CNC machining due to its high machinability, corrosion resistance, and attractive appearance.
Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc. is a durable, corrosion resistant and highly recyclable material. It has a wide range of applications including musical instruments, plumbing fittings, decorations, electrical connectors and various mechanical components.
We often use CNC machined grades of brass
C26000 (Cartridge Brass): This is a popular brass alloy that contains 70% copper and 30% zinc. It has good strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, and is often used in the manufacture of ammunition casings, plumbing fixtures, and automotive parts.
C36000 (Free-Cutting Brass): This is a leaded brass alloy that is known for its excellent machinability. It contains 61% copper, 35% zinc, and 3% lead, and is often used in the manufacture of electrical components, fasteners, and fittings.
