About

CNC machined Copper 360, also known as Free-Cutting Brass (C36000), is a copper-zinc alloy specifically optimized for excellent machinability and precision manufacturing. The material contains a small amount of lead, which improves chip formation and reduces tool wear, allowing for efficient production of complex, high-tolerance components.

Copper 360 provides excellent corrosion resistance in atmospheric and industrial environments, helping maintain long-term performance and appearance. It also offers good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, making it suitable for electrical and mechanical applications. Its superior machinability makes it one of the most commonly used brass alloys for CNC machining, especially in high-volume production environments.

Typical applications include precision fittings, valves, fasteners, electrical connectors, threaded components, enclosures, and decorative hardware, where precision, durability, and production efficiency are important.
