Comparative Machinability of Brasses, Steels and Aluminum Alloys

A7009

[566 KB]
Describes the development of CDA’s Universal Machinability Index and how it can be applied, using a nomograph, in the value analysis of screw machine products and parts. Includes case histories from commercial practice. Reprint, SAE Technical Paper 900365.
(10 pgs.) 1 free (add’l $1.00 ea)

Copper and Copper Alloys—Innovative Rod and Bar Applications

108/0


Describes major applications and specifications for copper rod and bar, with emphasis on machining properties and how they compare with competitive steel and aluminum. Reprint, ASTM Standardization News, March 1990.
(6 pgs.) 1 free (add’l $1.00 ea)

Copper Rod Alloys for Machined Products—Handbook

A7017

(CD-ROM, PC format only)

A7005


An alloy selection guide for copper and copper alloy rod, bar and shapes used for machined parts. The handbook is organized to help the designer, engineer or purchasing manager specify the proper alloy for the intended application. Presents data on all copper rod metals but emphasis is on free-cutting brass, including part cost comparisons, brass vs. steel, which demonstrate how material cost, machining cost, design and scrap value influence the total cost of machined parts.

Corrosion Tests Prove Free-Cutting Brass Outlasts Plated Steel

A1007


Detailed results of rigorous salt-spray (fog) testing under ASTM B 117 and ASTM G 44 show C36000 brass parts significantly outperform E-coated and zinc-chromate-coated 12L14 steel parts.
(6 pgs.) 1 free (add’l $1.00 ea)

Custom Brass Extrusions Improve Quality, Reduce Costs
A7003
Shows how to save money and reduce components, operations and inspections related to the manufacture of single parts by using a one-step custom brass extrusion.
(1 page). 1 free (add’l $1.00 ea)

Forging Alloys for High Quality, Cost-Competitive Products

A7004


Details why copper alloy forgings are ideal for safety-related products, pressure-retaining valves and fittings, and precision components based upon their inherent strength, toughness, dimensional control, smooth surfaces, high thermal and electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
(8 pgs.) 1 free (add’l $1.00 ea)
