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.

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.

Also known as high-leaded naval brass, 485 brass contains lead for good machinability. It is commonly used for marine hardware, valve stems, and screw machine products.

Diameter is oversized to allow for finishing.

Offering excellent antifriction qualities, 932 bronze also offers good strength and wear resistance. It's also known as SAE 660 and is often used for bearings, bushings, and thrust washers.

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.

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.

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated.

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

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

The addition of nickel gives 630 bronze high strength. It is also called aluminum-nickel-bronze.

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

Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Use these cadmium-free alloys with most metals in general purpose applications.

Use these alloys with most metals in general purpose applications.

These alloys create stronger bonds than standard brazing alloys.

When melted, these alloys form a thin liquid that easily flows into smaller gaps than standard gap-filling brazing alloys.

These alloys melt into thicker liquid than standard brazing alloys for copper, which allows them to fill larger gaps.

These alloys create stronger bonds than standard brazing alloys for copper.

These alloys are also known as trimetal brazing strips. They have silver with nickel alloy sides and a copper core.

These electrodes are commonly used for metallic carbon arc welding of brass, bronze, and copper to themselves, and to mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.

Brass threaded rods are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic.

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