C36000 exhibits exceptional machinability, maintaining excellent chip control and dimensional stability under high-speed machining conditions. It is well-suited for high-volume production of precision components, delivering outstanding overall machining efficiency.
Brass C378 is a high-zinc brass alloy that maintains excellent CNC machinability while offering superior mechanical strength compared to C360. It is commonly used for structural components requiring moderate strength and in high-volume production scenarios.
Bronze C385 is a high-zinc brass containing 2–3% lead, offering excellent machinability, good strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance; it also exhibits outstanding hot extrusion formability.
Brass C350 is a high-zinc brass with excellent machinability, good strength, and stability. It is particularly suitable for structural components primarily manufactured via CNC machining that require moderate load-bearing capacity.
Brass 280 is a high-zinc brass alloy with good resistance to seawater corrosion, excellent mechanical strength, and thermal conductivity. It is commonly used in the manufacture of marine components, light-duty structural parts, and decorative hardware.
Brass H59 is a lead-free high-zinc brass with good mechanical properties and formability, making it suitable for structural and load-bearing components; however, its CNC machinability is moderate.

From alloy selection to machining capability — supporting reliable CNC Brass parts production.
Brass is a copper–zinc alloy whose properties can be tailored by adding elements such as lead or tin to enhance machinability and corrosion resistance. It offers excellent machinability and is one of the easiest metals to CNC machine, making it well suited for efficient, high-volume production. Although its electrical and thermal conductivity are lower than pure copper, brass remains a cost-effective choice for conductive and heat-dissipation components without extreme performance requirements.
