What is brass?

Brass is an alloy consisting of copper and zinc. Especially alloys with a zinc content of more than 20%. It is a commonly used material for CNC machining. It has high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and good ductility. It is now widely used in the plumbing, electrical and medical industries. As an easy-to-machine material. Brass can be precisely cut into desired shapes by CNC machines. Depending on the alloy composition. Brass is classified into different grades. The common ones are C360, C230 and C220. however, it is worth noting. Leaded brass is easy to machine but can lead to tool wear.

CNC Machining Brass Application Notes

Brass is a high-performance and aesthetically pleasing metal. It is well-suited for precision machining in several industries. Due to its machinability and resistance to corrosion, it is ideal for the manufacture of complex parts. Using CNC machining, brass parts can be produced quickly and efficiently with high precision. This allows it to fulfill a wide range of applications. Common areas of application are:

Automotive parts: e.g. terminals, handles, hinges, valve stems
Consumer goods: e.g. jewellery, musical instruments, furniture fittings
Industrial components: e.g. screws, rivets, pipe assemblies, bearings, gears

Surface Finishing Options for CNC Machined Brass Parts

Brass has excellent machinability and natural good looks. Yonglihao Machinery CNC machined brass parts can be finished in a variety of ways to suit different applications. This enhances functionality and visual appeal. Below is a list of some of the surface finishes we support:

Polishing: Hand or mechanical polishing can give brass parts a very high gloss. It gives them a smooth surface that is suitable for decorative purposes or parts that require a fine appearance.
Sandblasting: By sandblasting, brass surfaces can be given a matt or rough texture. These are more suitable for parts that need to reduce light reflection or enhance friction.
Surface Coating: To improve corrosion resistance or aesthetics, brass parts can be clear coated or powder coated. This is especially important in parts that are exposed to the environment.
Electroplating: Increases the durability and corrosion resistance of brass parts while improving surface conductivity. Ideal for applications requiring high electrical conductivity or long term durability.

Machining Guide

Select the appropriate brass alloy for the application, e.g. C360 for high precision cutting and C260 for cold working.

Pay attention to dimensional control during machining to ensure that the finished product meets the design requirements.

Consider the after-treatment requirements of brass components to ensure adequate durability and functionality in the given environment.

Cost-saving design tips

Due to the high price of brass, special attention needs to be paid to the efficient use of the material when designing.
Optimize the design: Simplify the design as much as possible by reducing complex structures or unnecessary details to reduce material usage and processing time. At the same time, minimize the number of machine settings, which will have a direct impact on machining efficiency and cost.
Choosing economical alloys: In purely cosmetic applications, there is no need to choose brass alloys with high strength or special properties. For parts that require a lot of cutting, choosing an alloy with better machinability can effectively reduce machining time.
Control of details during design: At the design stage, avoid excessive tight tolerances and complex geometries, such as deep holes or small radius structures. This not only saves material, but also reduces machining time and complexity, thus reducing costs.

Brass CNC machining FAQ

Does the hardness and strength of a material affect CNC machining?

Yes, softer materials (e.g. brass) are easier to machine than harder materials, extending tool life and increasing machining speeds.

Is brass easier to machine than aluminum?

Brass has better-cutting properties than aluminum, especially in high-precision machining. Brass produces smoother surfaces and wears fewer tools.

What is the cutting speed of brass?

Cutting speeds for brass are typically in the range of 80-200 meters per minute, depending on the alloy type and machining conditions.

Is brass suitable for my project?

Brass is ideal if you need high precision, corrosion resistance, and good looks. It is suitable for electrical, mechanical, and decorative projects.
