1/4″ Brass Hexagon Bar (A360 – Free Cutting Yellow Brass)
1/4″ (.250″) Brass Hexagon Bar C360 (C36000 FCB Free Cutting) is a precision-machined solid brass bar manufactured from free-cutting brass alloy C36000, known for its excellent machinability and consistent performance. Featuring a hexagonal shape, this bar is designed for efficient turning, milling, and drilling operations. The Free Cutting Brass (FCB) composition contains lead, which enhances chip breaking and reduces tool wear, making it ideal for high-speed machining and production environments. C360 brass also provides good corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and a smooth surface finish.
Applications:
1/4″ Brass Hex Bar C360 is commonly used in machining and industrial applications, including:
• Manufacturing precision fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and screws
• CNC machining of fittings, valves, and connectors
• Electrical components and terminals
• Plumbing hardware and fluid handling parts
• Decorative and architectural components
• High-volume production parts requiring tight tolerances
Advantages:
• Excellent machinability: C36000 offers one of the highest machinability ratings among copper alloys
• Free cutting properties: Lead content improves chip control and tool life
• Hex shape: Ideal for wrenching applications and efficient material usage
• Corrosion resistant: Performs well in non-marine environments
• Smooth finish: Produces clean, precise surfaces with minimal post-processing
• Cost-effective: Reduces machining time and tooling costs
Summary:
The 1/4″ C360 (C36000) Free Cutting Brass Hexagon Bar is a high-performance material designed for precision machining and industrial use. Its superior machinability, corrosion resistance, and hex profile make it an excellent choice for producing fasteners, fittings, and components requiring accuracy, efficiency, and a clean finish.
