CNC Machining Materials

Brass

YJCNC machines precision brass components to customer drawings, using CNC turning, CNC milling, turn-mill and Swiss-type processes. Brass is one of the most practical materials for high-volume and high-precision turned parts, and our team helps you select the right alloy, process and inspection plan for your application.

Why Brass Suits CNC Machining

Brass combines good machinability with useful functional properties. It holds fine tolerances well, produces clean surface finishes and supports efficient cutting, which makes it a common choice for turned and milled components.

Excellent Machinability

Free-cutting brass alloys allow high cutting speeds, good chip control and stable tool life in production runs.

Corrosion Resistance

Brass resists corrosion in many water, air and general industrial environments, supporting long service life.

Electrical & Thermal Conductivity

Good conductivity makes brass suitable for terminals, connectors and components that manage heat or current.

Dimensional Stability

Brass parts maintain consistent dimensions, supporting reliable assembly and repeatable fits across batches.

Common Brass Alloys

Alloy selection depends on machinability needs, corrosion exposure, forming requirements and end-use conditions. Our engineers review your drawing and application before recommending a material.

Alloy	Common Name	Key Characteristic	Typical Components
C36000	Free-Cutting Brass	Highest machinability among common brasses	Fittings, screws, precision turned parts
C26000	Cartridge Brass	Strong, ductile and well suited to forming	Formed parts, springs, housings
C46400	Naval Brass	Enhanced resistance in marine and wet environments	Marine hardware, valve components

Brass Machining Capabilities

Our equipment base covers a wide range of brass part sizes and geometries, from small slender pins to multi-feature turned and milled components.

CNC Turning

Shafts, sleeves, bushings and turned connectors produced on CNC and gang-type lathes.

Swiss-Type Machining

Small, slender and complex brass components with tight diameter control.

CNC Milling & Turn-Mill

Brackets, housings and parts that combine turned and milled features in a single workflow.

Typical Brass Components

We regularly produce brass parts for plumbing, electrical, instrumentation and general industrial applications.

Valve bodies, fittings and adapters
Bushings, sleeves and spacers
Electrical terminals and connectors
Pins, screws and threaded components
Instrument and mounting parts

Quality Verification

Brass components are checked against your drawing using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, optical measuring systems and coordinate measuring equipment. Thread gauges and surface roughness testing are available for threaded and finished features.
