Understanding the properties of brass and copper is crucial for CNC turning. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, with excellent corrosion resistance, high machinability, and aesthetic appeal. Copper has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and ductility. Both materials can be easily machined using CNC turning technology, allowing for precise and accurate production of complex parts. However, they have unique properties that can pose challenges during machining, such as the tendency to work-harden or create built-up edges on the cutting tool. Overall, understanding the properties of brass and copper is essential for optimizing the production of high-quality CNC turning parts.
Brass CNC machining creates precision parts and components integral to a wide range of applications due to the material’s unique properties. Here are some key areas where brass CNC machined parts are commonly utilized:
