C36000 Brass is copper, alloyed with lead and zinc. C360 is also known as Free-Cutting and Free-Machining brass because it has a 100% machinability rating, and is the standard against which all other copper alloys are compared. CDA 360 brass is also strong, with a strength similar to that of leaded steel. With its combination of machinability and strength, C360 Free-Cutting brass is one of the most commonly widely used copper alloy and is ideal for automatic screw machine applications. Common uses include consumer goods, hardware, medical and automotive applications.
