C36000 Free Cutting Brass Manufacturer & Supplier
The benchmark machining alloy — 100% machinability by definition. Three percent lead smears in the cut and breaks the chip, so a bar-fed lathe runs unattended. Restricted in drinking-water contact by lead limits; ask for a low-lead alternative where potable approval is required.
