Free Machining Brass This Brass contains copper between 56 to 60% with lead varying between 1.5 to 2.8% and balance as Zinc. As the name suggests this alloy is used where items require lot of machining operation. This alloy is generally supplied in rod and wire form.
|
|
|
Forging Brass
|
This Brass contains
copper between 58% to 62% of Copper with lead between 0.8 to 1.8% and balance
as Zinc. This alloy is best suited for items which require forging and subsequent
machining operations.
