What is C3604?

C3604 is a brass alloy whose main components are copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), with a small amount of lead (Pb) added to improve machinability. This material is popular in the industry due to its good mechanical properties, ease of machining and high corrosion resistance.

Other names: C3604 Brass , Free-cutting brass , C3604 Turned Brass , C3604 Leaded Brass 

Chemical composition of C3604

The lead content in C3604 helps increase cutting ability and reduce tool wear when machining on CNC machines or lathes.
