1/2″ Brass Hexagon Bar (A360 – Free Cutting Yellow Brass)

1/2″ (.500″) Brass Hexagon Bar C360 (C36000 FCB Free Cutting) is a solid hex bar manufactured from free-cutting brass alloy C36000, designed for exceptional machinability and precision performance. The hexagonal profile allows for efficient machining and secure wrench engagement in finished parts. This alloy contains lead to enhance chip formation, reduce tool wear, and support high-speed machining. C360 brass also offers good corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and a smooth, clean surface finish, making it ideal for both production and custom fabrication.

Applications:
1/2″ Brass Hex Bar C360 is commonly used in machining and industrial applications, including:
• Manufacturing bolts, nuts, and precision fasteners
• CNC machining of fittings, valves, and couplings
