Material Overview
Brass Material for Custom CNC Machining
Brass is a widely used copper alloy for custom CNC machined parts. It is suitable for projects that require good machinability, corrosion resistance, moderate electrical conductivity, wear resistance, and a clean metal appearance.
At Yinuomold, brass can be used for CNC machined components depending on the part structure, tolerance requirements, surface finish needs, working environment, and production quantity.
Key Features of Brass
Brass may offer the following material characteristics:
– Good CNC machinability
– Corrosion resistance
– Moderate electrical conductivity
– Wear resistance
– Good threading performance
– Clean metallic appearance
– Suitable for precision turned parts
Brass is often selected for small precision components, fittings, connectors, inserts, and functional metal parts.
Applicable Manufacturing Processes
Brass is mainly suitable for:
– CNC machined metal parts
– CNC turned components
– CNC milled components
– Prototype metal parts
– Low-volume production parts
– Precision custom components
Typical Applications
Brass is commonly used in:
– Fittings
– Connectors
– Bushings
– Inserts
– Threaded parts

Surface Finish Options
Brass parts may require different surface finishes depending on appearance, corrosion resistance, conductivity, or product usage.
Common options may include:
– Polishing
– Plating
– Brushing
– Passivation-related cleaning
– Surface deburring
Project Evaluation
For brass parts, we usually review the drawing, part size, tolerance requirements, material grade, surface finish, working environment, and production quantity before confirming the suitable CNC machining process.
The final material and process should be selected according to part function, dimensional requirements, surface requirements, cost, and production volume.
