introduction
Brass C360 in CNC Machining
Brass C360, also known as free-cutting brass or leaded brass, is an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, with a small percentage of lead.
Both copper and zinc are metals that conduct electricity well. Therefore, brass C360 is generally a good conductor of electricity. The addition of lead enhances machinability but may affect some mechanical properties. Brass tends to work-harden during machining, especially if the cutting process is not optimized. We do proper tool selection, cutting speeds and feeds, and cutting techniques to achieve smooth and precise surfaces.
This alloy is highly malleable, allowing for easy shaping and machining. It has good resistance to corrosion in seawater and industrial chemicals, so it is recommended for marine environments. It is easily soldered and brazed, and it remains strong even in demanding conditions. With a bright golden color, we offer brass C360 in rounds, flats, tubes, squares, hexagons, sheets, and plates at affordable prices.

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Basic Knowledge of Brass C360
What is Brass C360?
C360 brass, also known as C36000, is a type of brass alloy widely used in engineering and machining applications. Its composition includes copper as the primary component, lead to enhance machinability, and zinc to contribute to overall strength.
This alloy has excellent machinability, and the presence of lead improves chip formation during machining, reducing tool wear and enhancing the surface finish of machined parts. It is commonly used in industries like automotive, electronics, and plumbing. C360 brass is known to produce intricate parts with precision. However, its lead content may limit its use in applications where contact with food or drinking water is a concern.

FAQ
Machining Brass C360 Buying FAQ
Yes, brass C360 is considered a high-strength alloy. It exhibits good mechanical properties
While brass C360 is not as soft as some other brass alloys, it is still relatively easy to machine. It falls within the category of free-cutting brass, known for its machinability. Heat treatment processes can influence the material's hardness.
Yes, brass C360 is generally solderable. However, the success of soldering depends on the specific soldering technique used, the cleanliness of the surfaces, and proper flux application.
Generally, 353 brass is known for its excellent strength and corrosion resistance compared to 360 brass. However, the suitability of one over the other depends on factors such as machining needs, environmental conditions, and the desired combination of properties for the intended use.
