CW603N

CW603N Free machining brass, resulting from the fusion of copper and zinc, exhibits the highest degree of machinability among all copper alloys, serving as the benchmark against which others are gauged. Renowned for its strength and corrosion resistance akin to steel, CW603N Brass stands as one of the premier copper alloys extensively employed in contemporary applications. Achieving precision in machining with CW603N Brass is a straightforward task. Despite its ductile character when in a softened state, CW603N Brass emerges as a robust material for manipulation, preserving its strength even under the most rigorous circumstances. The development of a delicate safeguarding “patina” distinguishes CW603N Brass; unlike steel and iron, it remains invulnerable to rust when exposed to atmospheric conditions. Thanks to its elevated density, CW603N Brass is especially well-suited for crafting substantial industrial components. The refined polished finish further adds to the appeal of CW603N Brass. This versatile material is accessible in an array of configurations, including Rounds, Flats, Squares, Hexagons, Shapes, and Hollows.
