What is Brass CNC Machining?
Brass CNC machining is a precision manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled (CNC) machines to cut, shape, and finish brass parts with high accuracy. Brass—an alloy of copper and zinc—is favored for its excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.
CNC machining ensures tight tolerances (as precise as ±0.005mm) and repeatability, making it ideal for industries like electronics, automotive, plumbing, and decorative hardware.
Why Choose Brass CNC Machining?
Excellent Machinability
Softer than steel, brass cuts easily, reducing tool wear and production time.
Corrosion Resistance
Perfect for marine, plumbing, and outdoor applications.
Electrical & Thermal Conductivity
Widely used in electrical connectors and heat exchangers.
Aesthetic Appeal
Polished brass provides a premium, decorative finish.
