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.

Offering the highest yield strength of all our brass, 330 has a low lead content for a good balance of machinability and formability. It's used for fire station poles, pump cylinder lines, and plumbing accessories.

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

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. The strength of this material increases with heat treating.
