What is brass?

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy renowned for its excellent machinability, attractive appearance, and versatile mechanical properties. It combines good strength with corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both functional components and decorative applications. Brass is widely used across industries such as electronics, marine, architectural hardware, and precision engineering, offering easy fabrication and a bright, gold-like finish. Its non-sparking nature and resistance to wear make it an ideal choice for precision CNC machining projects.

Why choose brass for your CNC machining project?

  • Outstanding machinability: Brass is one of the most easily machined metals, enabling faster cycle times, smooth surface finishes, and reduced tool wear, which translates to lower production costs for complex or high-volume parts.
  • Excellent corrosion resistance: The copper content in brass helps it resist tarnishing and corrosion, making it ideal for components exposed to moisture, marine environments, or mild chemical contact.
  • Attractive aesthetic and functional properties: Brass offers a bright, gold-like appearance, making it popular for visible components where appearance matters, while also providing good electrical conductivity for applications in electronics and precision instruments.
