About Copper, Brass, and Bronze

Ultra-Machinable 360 Brass Bars

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.

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Sheets and Strips

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.

Brushed Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Sheets

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

Mirror-Like Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Sheets

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

Formable Easy-to-Machine 353 Brass Sheets and Bars

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.

Weldable Marine-Grade 464 Brass Sheets and Bars

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.

Brushed Weldable Marine-Grade 464 Brass Sheets

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

Mirror-Like Weldable Marine-Grade 464 Brass Sheets

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

Easy-to-Machine Architectural 385 Brass Bars

Often called architectural bronze, 385 brass is easy to machine and has excellent formability when heated. It is typically used for handrails, ornamental trim, and hardware, such as hinges and lock bodies.

Bronze

Oversized Weldable 954 Bearing Bronze Bars

Thickness and width are oversized to allow for finishing.

Tight-Tolerance Weldable 954 Bearing Bronze Bars

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

Oil-Filled 840 and 841 Bearing Bronze Sheets

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

Oversized 932 Bearing Bronze Bars

The thickness and width are oversized to allow for finishing.

Tight-Tolerance 932 Bearing Bronze Bars

Precision ground on the top and bottom, these bars have a tight thickness tolerance of ±0.002".

Easy-to-Machine 936 Bearing Bronze Bars

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

Tight-Tolerance High-Strength 863 Bearing Bronze Bars

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.

Easy-to-Form 220 Bronze

Offering excellent formability, 220 bronze is known for its ability to withstand outdoor exposure. It's commonly called commercial bronze.

Ultra-Strength Easy-to-Form 510 Bronze Sheets

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

Wear-, Impact-, and Chemical-Resistant PTFE Sheets

Manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE that's modified with filler material for a super-slippery, impact-resistant surface that resists wear.
