Introduction to Brass
Brass is a metal alloy of copper and zin. it has excellent workability and machinability. brass is often used in the manufacture of valves, water pipes, and air conditioning inside and outside the machine connection pipe and radiator.
Information of Brass
| Machining | Image | Type | Property | Tolerance | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Machining Metal |  | Brass 260 Brass 360 | Corrosion-resistant Good machinability Non-sparking | min +/-0.02mm | Plumbing fixtures Decorative elements Musical instruments |
Available Brass Properties
| Steel Type | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation at Break (%) | Hardness (Brinell) | Density (g/cm³) | Maximum Temp (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brass 260 | 95-260 | 45-55 | 60-120 | 8.5 | 300 |
| Brass 360 | 90-315 | 14-25 | 80-170 | 8.5 | 300 |
The values above are typical averages and could vary based on specific type.
Available surface finishing for Brass part
| Image | Capabilities | Description | Applicable to | Texture | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | As-machined | As machined means the parts without any surface treatment after they get off the machines. | All materials | n/a | None |
 | Sanding and Polishing | Polishing is a surface finishing process to create a smooth surface. With mechanical, chemical or electrochemical methods, polishing will reduce the surface roughness of the parts to get a bright and reflective surface. | All materials | Smooth, glossy finish | $$$$ |
 | Bead Blasting | Bead blasting use high speed jetted sand and iron shots to hit the surface of the workpiece. it will change the surface of part and improve the mechanical properties of part. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel, Brass, Copper | n/a | $ |
 | Powder Coating | Powder coating is a surface finishing process that adhere dry powder on the surface of a meatal part. | All metal materials | Glossy or Sand | $$$ |
 | Brushing | The brushing finish process is a surface treatment method that uses abrasive material to form lines on the surface of metal parts to achieve distinctive textured appearance. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | $$ |
 | Marking | Marking is available in differnt types and different methods. | All materials | n/a | $$ |
