Description
C36000 Brass Plate and Machining Stock
π§© Product Overview
C36000 Brass Plate is listed as flat leaded free-cutting brass machining stock. The copper-zinc-lead alloy is selected for chip control and cutting operations. Confirm the actual supplied form, temper, stock dimensions and machining allowance for the component drawing.
For C36000, agree the material specification and acceptance requirements for the actual delivered plate, rectangular section or cut blank. Select stock by thickness or section, width, length, temper and required chemical or dimensional inspection. ASTM B16 can be reviewed when the ordered form is rod, bar or shape.
π¬ Chemical Composition of C36000 Brass Plate
The chemical table retains the catalog reference values. Use the ordered C36000 grade requirements and batch chemical report for acceptance, and confirm the actual supplied form and delivery condition with the quotation.
| Element | Symbol | Typical Content (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Copper | Cu | 60.0β63.0 |
| Zinc | Zn | Balance |
| Lead | Pb | 2.5β3.7 |
| Iron | Fe | β€ 0.35 |
| Total Impurities | β | β€ 0.5 |
The lead content in C36000 Brass Plate is uniformly dispersed in the copper-zinc matrix, significantly enhancing tool life and productivity while ensuring smooth surfaces and reduced work hardening.
βοΈ Mechanical Properties

π οΈ Workability and Machining
β Machining
C36000 Brass Plate is considered the benchmark alloy for machinability. With a machinability rating of 100%, it is commonly used for:
- CNC-turned parts
- Milling and drilling operations
- High-speed production lines
It forms short, broken chips that do not jam tools, reducing tool wear and cooling system load.
β Forming
C36000 is selected primarily for cutting operations. Confirm the forming strain, bend geometry and delivery temper where a secondary forming step is required:
- Stamping and blanking at high production rates
- Acceptable bending and pressing, especially in thinner gauges
- Hot forging is limited but possible with proper temperature control
β Joining
- Soldering: Excellent
- Brazing: Good
- Welding: Not recommended (due to lead)
π© Common Applications of C36000 Brass Plate
π§ Precision Machined Parts
- Valve components
- Gear blanks
- Hydraulic fittings
- Instrument stems
βοΈ Electrical Components
- Terminal blocks
- Conductive pads
- Low-voltage connectors
π Industrial Hardware
- Pipe flanges
- Bushing plates
- CNC bearing housings
ποΈ Architectural & Decorative
- Trim panels
- Nameplates
- Lock mechanisms
Its excellent surface polishability also makes C36000 suitable for aesthetic machining and consumer-grade components.
π Industry Use Cases
C36000 Brass Plate is trusted across multiple industries for its:
- Dimensional stability in automatic machines
- Cost-efficiency in high-speed production lines
- Aesthetic finish for visible hardware parts
Typical sectors include:
- Electronics & Instrumentation
- Aerospace (non-load-bearing parts)
- Commercial plumbing
- General engineering
- Automotive (valves, switches)
In global markets such as the US, EU, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, C36000 is preferred where repeatability, machinability, and lead time are key procurement factors.
π¦ Packaging & Shipping

- CO, Packing List, and MTC included
Requested Material Documents and Inspection
Specify the required material documents:
- Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1)
- Chemical composition verification
- Dimensional inspection sheet
- Optional 3rd-party testing (SGS, BV, etc.)
- RoHS / REACH documentation required for the application
State any required ISO 9001 quality-management documentation and the material inspection documents for the project, and confirm their scope with the quotation.
π Comparison: C36000 vs Other Brass Grades
| Property | C36000 | C26000 | C38500 |
| Copper (%) | ~61.5 | ~70.0 | ~60.0 |
| Lead (%) | ~3.0 | ~0.07 | ~3.0 |
| Machinability Rating | 100 | 30 | 90 |
| Cold Workability | Moderate | Excellent | Good |
| Strength (MPa) | Medium | Medium | Medium |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good | Very Good | Moderate |
Use C36000 Brass Plate when machinability is the priority. Use C26000 when deep drawing or decorative quality is critical.
