Description

Brass Hex Bar C360 is a free-machining alloy known for its excellent machinability, high strength, and corrosion resistance. Commonly used in precision components, fittings, and hardware, it offers exceptional workability for applications requiring high performance and durability. Its gold-like appearance and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for both industrial and decorative purposes, including plumbing, electrical, and automotive industries.

About C360 brass

C360 is free-machining brass, the brass you machine into fittings, valve parts, and hardware. About 3% lead sits through the structure and snaps the chip as the tool cuts, so it makes short clean chips, holds size, and threads beautifully. It's the 100 mark on the machinability scale, the alloy everything else is graded against. It's what we stock and cut: flat, round, hex, and square bar, plus some sheet.

Read the full 360 vs 260 brass guide
What makes 360 brass free-machining?
Lead, about 3% of it, scattered through the brass in tiny pockets that break the chip as you cut. That's why it machines and threads so cleanly. The trade is ductility: those same pockets crack on a tight bend, so keep any bend gentle or machine the angle instead.
Should I buy 360 or 260 brass?
Buy C360 if a cutting tool touches the metal (lathe, mill, drill, tap), which covers most shop jobs. Buy C260 cartridge brass if the part gets formed, drawn, or bent in thin sheet. C360 is what's on our rack; C260 work is usually a sourcing request.
