CW624N
CW624N, a leaded brass alloy, stands as a significant enhancement of the traditional 60/40 brass. It is the top choice for the mass production of brass components when the primary objectives are achieving peak output and maximizing tool lifespan. Moreover, it is the preferred option when no additional cold forming is needed following the machining process.
