C36000 Free-Cutting Brass

C36000 Free-Machining Brass is ideally suited for high speed machining operations with its superior machinability, thread rolling and knurling characteristics. Its machinability rating of 100 is standard against which all other copper alloys are rated. It is easily soldered or brazed and has good resistance to corrosion. Typical applications included gears, pinions, fittings, adapters, valves, valve stems and high speed screw machine products. Conforms to specification ASTM B16.
