Brass CNC Machining

CNC machining, also known as computerized gong, is a technology that uses computer-controlled machine tools for automated production. It inputs design information into the computer through pre-programming, and then the computer controls the machine tool to perform precise cutting, drilling, milling and other operations. Compared with traditional manual machine tools, CNC machining offers higher productivity, better machining accuracy and lower labor costs. CNC Ultra Precision Machining of Hardware Parts

What Properties Of Brass Make It Suitable For CNC Machining?

As mentioned earlier, brass majorly contains copper and zinc. It could also contain other metals such as silicon, sắt, lead, or magnesium that bestow it with additional properties. Tuy nhiên, the catch about brass is that the copper and zinc content can be adjusted to fit any intended application. These varying proportions of brass are what really produce the various grades of brass used in machining custom brass parts.

Let’s review these properties and how they affect brass’s suitability for the CNC machining process:

machining brass

1. Highly Machinable

Brass is one of the easiest metals to machine. This property is due to the presence of lead in its composition. With machining properties like high feed rates, good ductility, and flexibility, machining brass is an easy task for most machinists. The machinability of brass is the major reason brass manufacturing using the CNC process is quite common.

2. Corrosion Resistance

One of the properties which make brass a suitable choice for machining is its corrosion resistance. This property is one of the reasons why tools made out of brass have a long tool life. Also, it makes parts made out of the material suitable for use in liquid environments. Tuy nhiên, its corrosion resistance level depends on the number of constituents like iron and aluminum.

3. Malleability

Brass is extremely malleable due to its copper content. Tuy nhiên, the metal is even more malleable than copper. Its high malleability makes it an easy choice for machining projects. This is because the machinists can easily manipulate the metal into different shapes. This is why custom brass machined parts.

4. Strength and Hardness

Brass is also renowned for its strength despite its easy machinability. While it is not as strong as steel, it is also quite durable.

 

5. Aesthetic Appeal

One of the major factors considered in machining is the aesthetic appeal of the finished part. With its bright golden color, brass definitely has the look to go with its other properties. Its beautiful natural finish means brass machined parts can be used without external finishes.

Types Of Brass Grades For CNC Machining

There are different grades of brass which all depend on the constituent of copper and zinc it contains. These variations in composition also affect the properties of applications of various grades of brass. This section will review a few of them alongside their advantages, disadvantages, and applications.

 

Brass C360

Machinists commonly refer to this alloy as free machining brass. It is the most common brass grade used in machining. It is renowned for its high machinability and tensile strength. Its high machinability is attributed to its lead content which makes up about 3% of its constituents. Machinists use it for machining brass custom parts such as electrical equipment and joints or screws.

Advantages

  • Easily machinable.
  • Corrosion resistance.
  • Good tensile strength.

Disadvantages

  • Lead content could cause issues if used for medical applications.
  • Susceptible to acids.
