Brass In CNC Machining
Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc, widely used in CNC machining. It's known for being easy to machine, resistant to corrosion, and having a pleasing appearance. When lead is added, it becomes even easier to work with, making brass the most machinable copper alloy. These features make brass a great choice for mechanical parts that require corrosion resistance, such as those in the marine industry.
