What are brass machining parts?

Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zinc, and is an ideal material for manufacturing CNC machining parts including CNC milling parts. Brass CNC milling is the use of a spindle or sheet placed under a table on a spindle, which holds a cutting tool. The table can be rotated, and the axis can be turned to form two axes of motion. The cutting tool is mounted on a rotating spindle and removes material to create a shape. After various surface treatments, including electroplating, polishing, heat treatment, nickel plating, zinc plating, tin plating, silver plating, and chrome plating, the final brass processed product can be obtained. CNC brass machining services precision milled parts are used in industrial equipment, smart home, communications and computers. This article will tell more about brass machining parts.

The following knowledge points are listed below:

1. The basics of brass machining parts

Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc; the ratio of zinc and copper can be changed to create a series of brass with different properties. Brass has higher ductility than bronze or zinc. Brass is one of the most commonly used materials in the world. Brass's relatively low melting point (900 ~ 940 °C, 1650 ~ 1720 °C, depending on composition) and its flow characteristics make it a relatively easy castable material. By changing the ratio of copper and zinc, the performance of brass can be changed, allowing hard and soft brass. Brass is generally known for the following aspects-good strength and conductivity, it can be easily polished, there seems to be a brass suitable for almost all applications.

2. The features of brass machining parts 

(1) Long shelf life

(2) Strong wear resistance

(3) Good ductility

(4) Flexible, anti-rust

(5) Easy to shape

(6) Excellent tensile strength, anti-rust performance.

3. The types of brass machining parts

(1) Pure brass machining parts

Brass machining parts (five-axis and conventional) have several key advantages over machining other materials. Brass parts are durable, cost-effective, and can even create tighter seals for accessories, with high heat resistance and corrosion resistance. Brass processing is widely used in various industries, including medical, electrical, plumbing, and even consumer products. The company likes small brass turning parts and components because it is the easiest material to machine. Brass fittings are often used in electronic hardware due to their low hardness and weight characteristics, and are also often used in precision engineering for manufacturing cylinder parts.

(2) 360 Brass machining parts

360 brassless brass, made of a mixture of copper and zinc, has the highest machinability of all copper alloys and is the standard for all other alloys. Free machining brass is the most commonly used brass rod and rod project. Brass is known for its strength and corrosion resistance, its performance is similar to steel, and it is one of the most common copper alloys used today.

It is convenient for precise processing. Despite its ductility in the softened state, it is a very strong material that can maintain strength even under some of the most demanding conditions. Brass will form a thin protective layer, unlike steel and iron, it will not rust when exposed to the atmosphere. As a high-density material, it is an ideal material for heavy industrial parts

(3) Alloy 230 red brass

Unlike yellow brass, red brass is warmer, richer, and stronger. A versatile alloy, red brass is known for its natural gold color and ease of processing. It is widely used in costume jewelry, pen and pencil parts, and many other decorative items. It is also the strongest and cheapest of those copper-zinc alloys with high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. High corrosion resistance, easy to deep draw and other formations, it is used in a variety of products, from ferrules, lamps and lipstick boxes-steam iron parts, sprinklers and weather strips.
