Brass C35300 Machining
Brass C35300 Machined Parts
Sunhy has a reputation for machining quality parts from Brass 353 alloy. We can machine intricate parts on our CNC Swiss machines and CNC turning centers.
Brass CDA 353 alloy is a leaded free-machining alloy (FMA), ideal for parts that require strength, corrosion and wear resistance, and excellent machinability. It is well suited for parts with knurling or threading, as well as moving parts that are subject to frictional forces.
Brass 353 has a machining cost factor of 0.7 when compared to steel 12L14. It is not ideal for welding or hot working, but is excellent for soldering and possesses better formability than Brass 360. Brass 353 can be annealed.
Due to brass 353’s excellent machinability and the high return value of scrap, the net cost of machining brass is competitive with steel.
