With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

Polished on one side to a reflective, mirror-like finish.

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

353 brass is more formable than 385 brass while maintaining good machinability. Commonly called engraver’s brass, it’s well suited for fabrication processes such as knurling and threading. Use it to make nuts, gears, drawer pulls, and hinges.

Typically used with low-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with medium-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.
