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.

One side of these sheets has a brushed finish with grain lines running in one direction to mask fingerprints.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

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.

These bars are precision ground on the top and bottom for a tight thickness tolerance of ±0.002".

954 bronze contains a minimum of 10% aluminum for strength and weldability. It is also known as aluminum bronze. It's widely used for bearings, bushings, valve bodies, and worm gears. The strength of this material increases with heat treating.

The thickness and width are oversized to allow for finishing.

These rods are precision ground for a tight diameter tolerance of ±0.0005".

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

An excellent alternative to oil-filled bronze, graphite-filled bronze provides dry lubrication in temperatures as high as 700° F.

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated. These bars are a higher-strength alternative to tight-tolerance 954 bearing bronze bars.

AMPCO® 18 is a premium aluminum-bronze alloy that combines strength with superior wear resistance.

Because 510 bronze is very strong and formable, it is the best choice for applications involving repetitive motion, such as springs and bellows.

A low-lead alternative to 316 bronze, 642 bronze is just as machinable with higher strength. It is also called aluminum-silicon-bronze.

Commonly called silicon-bronze, 655 bronze contains more silicon than other bronze alloys, making it suitable for all types of welding.

Also known as leaded commercial bronze, 316 contains lead for good machinability.
