Copper Alloy C3604

Copper Alloy C3604, also known as free-cutting brass, is a high-performance copper-zinc alloy designed for exceptional machinability. With added lead content, this alloy provides smooth cutting performance, reduced tool wear, and high production efficiency, making it one of the most widely used brass grades in machining and manufacturing industries.

C3604 offers good strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for precision engineering, electrical components, plumbing fittings, and decorative applications. Its bright, golden appearance also adds to its versatility, particularly in industries where both aesthetic appeal and mechanical reliability are important.

At GD Prototyping, we supply and machine C3604 alloy for clients needing durable, corrosion-resistant, and highly machinable materials in their prototypes and finished components. Whether for industrial connectors, screws, valves, or precision gears, C3604 ensures consistent performance and cost-effective manufacturing.
