(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.
