About

Brass C360, also known as free-cutting brass, is a highly machinable copper-zinc alloy, ideal for precision machining. It is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in water and mild chemical environments. C360 offers good strength and conductivity, making it suitable for parts that require high wear resistance, excellent machinability, and smooth surfaces. It is commonly used in automotive components, electrical connectors, fittings, valves, and gears. Its ease of machining makes it a preferred choice for mass production and complex parts where fast machining and high precision are required.
