Brass is the most suitable material for cutting.
C3604 is known as free-cutting brass type 2, and its composition involves adding lead to brass to enhance its machinability, making it particularly excellent in terms of workability. Workability refers to how easily a material can be machined, and free-cutting brass is characterized by its ease of machining, as its name suggests. It can be cut with minimal force, resulting in a smooth machined surface, and the chips produced are fine and easily separable. Additionally, it has excellent properties such as weldability and plating ability. Its specific gravity is 8.5.

Company information
We are a manufacturer of brass rods and aluminum extrusions located in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture. We have sales offices in Osaka and Tokyo, and we ship nationwide, primarily focusing on the Kansai and Kanto regions. We handle everything from cutting, drilling, and machining of extruded and drawn materials. We manufacture a variety of cross-sectional shapes tailored to our customers' needs. Our brass rods are available from billet casting to hot extrusion processing, cold drawing, and component machining. We also accommodate small quantities of aluminum extrusions. We have many general-purpose molds that do not incur extrusion mold technology fees. - For brass, we primarily stock C3604 flat bars (FB, flat bars). We can also handle various tempers, including C3604BE-F and C3604BD-F, as well as annealed materials. - We specialize in producing shapes close to the final product. Please consider cost reduction. - For aluminum shapes, we have extrusion molds for materials such as A6063 in square, flat bars (FB, flat bars), angles, channels, round pipes, and square pipes (square tubes), as well as various sizes of extrusion dies for material A1070 flat bars, allowing us to manufacture with just material procurement. For the use of molds with other materials like A6005C, please inquire individually.
