Brass C260
Equivalent: C26000 | CuZn30 | CZ106
C260 brass is the most ductile of the brass and is used in greater quantity than any other copper-zinc alloy. It has good strength but poor stress relaxation, good conductivity.
- Tensile Strength: 345 MPa
- Yield Strength: 205 MPa
- Elongation at break: 20%
- Density: 8.53 g/cm³
Brass C280
Equivalent: C28000 | CuZn40 | CZ109
Brass C280 has a warm yellow tone. It has favorable cold working properties, weldability, and formability, similar to commercial bronze.
- Tensile Strength: 485 MPa
- Yield Strength: 345 MPa
- Elongation at break: 20%
- Density: 8.39 g/cm³
Brass C360
Equivalent: C36000 | CuZn36Pb3 | CZ124
Brass C360 is a free-machining brass due to its high lead content, which is approximately 3%. C360 has high strength, good corrosion resistance, good formability and machinability.
- Tensile Strength: 470 MPa
- Yield Strength: 360 MPa
- Elongation at break: 18%
- Density: 8.50 g/cm³
Subtypes for Brass CNC Machining

Advantages of Brass Alloys
Good Corrosion Corrosion
The zinc element in brass reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air to form a dense layer of zinc oxide protective film on the surface, which can prevent the base metal from further corrosion.
Strength and Hardness
Brass has relatively high strength and hardness and is capable of withstanding certain external forces and pressure, which makes it less prone to deformation and damage.
Good Machinability
Brass can be shaped into different forms by forging, stamping, drawing, bending, and other post-processing methods like polishing. Brass is easy to maintain with a high-quality surface finish after processing.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Brass has a unique golden yellow appearance that is aesthetically pleasing and offers a sense of high-end sophistication. It is used to make decorative items to enhance aesthetics.
Acoustic Performance
Brass can convert vibrations into sound and produce pleasant tones. Brass is the preferred material for making instruments like trumpets and trombones.
Antibacterial Property
The copper and zinc ions in brass can slowly precipitate and kill a variety of viruses and bacteria, such as E. coli and MRSA. It is used to manufacture parts like IV stands.
Applications & Industries
Brass applications span multiple industries due to its versatile properties, such as durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Some representative applications are listed below.
- Automotive components (radiator cores, tubes, and tanks, etc.)
- Mechanical Components(gears, pumps, bushings, and bearings)
- Electronic components (terminals, connectors, and sockets)
- Musical Instruments (trumpets, trombones, saxophones)
