Leaded Brass

C34500 high leaded brass "64%" is the brass with high machining ability. The increase in lead content will result in increased machining ability with good strength and atmospheric corrosion resistance. The increased lead content will also provide pressure tightness by sealing the shrinkage pores.

Applications :

• Industrial : Pinions, Gears, Valve Stems, Flare Fittings, Adapters, Couplings
• Plumbing: Plumbing Fittings, Plumbers' Brass Goods

Free Cutting Muntz Metal Alloy C37000 is excellent for hot working between the temperatures 1200°F to 1300°F. The alloy holds poor capacity of working under cold conditions. If the alloy has to be used under cold working conditions, it is recommended that this be followed by stress relieving at 550°F for 1 hour to reduce the possibility of stress corrosion cracking.
