Free Machining Brass

Free Machining Brass, often referred to as "free-cutting" brass, is a high-performance alloy known for its superior machinability, allowing for precise and efficient machining with minimal tool wear. It is primarily composed of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), with added lead (Pb) to enhance its cutting characteristics. This brass is widely used in manufacturing precision components, such as gears, fittings, and fasteners, where intricate machining is required. Its excellent workability and surface finish make it a preferred choice in engineering applications where high precision and durability are crucial.
