Machined Products
- Free-Cutting Brass (Alloy C360)
This section contains several articles about Free Cutting Brass including Application Data Sheets and articles pertaining to Screw Machine Products - Forgings
An introduction to copper and brass forgings, this document is written with the concerns of design engineers and purchasing departments in mind - Bronze Sleeve Bearings
Are you designing for lowest cost? - Advisory Notice for Consumers of Brass and Bronze Rod Bar
- Low Lead Copper Rod Alloys
[191 KB]
This publication describes copper rod alloys with lead content less than 0.25%. Although this selection guide is primarily used for plumbing applications these alloys are extremely useful in any applications that require very low lead content.
Useful Resources
- Bronze bearings are the most widely used sleeve bearing type, industry-wide.
- The important point to remember is that the large family of alloys known as the bearing bronzes offer the widest choice of properties for the broadest possible range of bearing applications.
- If you want one word to describe the bearing bronzes, it would be versatility.
- Copper and brass forgings are quality parts, comparing favorably in material integrity, dimensional tolerance and surface finish with products made using other major metalworking processes.
- Copper, brass and bronze forgings offer the designer unique combinations of properties that other metals cannot match.
