# CNC Turned and Milled C36000 Brass Components

Category: Precision CNC Machined Parts
URL: https://www.machined-parts-factory.com/products/precision-cnc-machined-parts/cnc-turned-and-milled-c36000-brass-components/

These are precision brass components turned and milled from C36000 free-cutting brass and equivalents such as H59 and H62. Typical parts include fittings, connectors, knobs, inserts, valve parts and decorative hardware. Brass machines quickly with an excellent finish, which keeps cost down. The service suits product designers and OEM buyers who need brass parts in prototype or production quantities.

- C36000 free-cutting brass, machinability rating 100
- Live tooling adds flats, holes and knurls
- Low-lead brass for water and RoHS needs
- Nickel, chrome or lacquered polished finishes

## How we make it
C36000 contains a small amount of lead that breaks chips into short pieces, allowing high cutting speeds and fine surface finishes straight off the machine. Parts are turned on CNC lathes with live tooling, so flats, cross holes, slots and knurls are added in one cycle. Prismatic brass parts are milled on 3- and 4-axis centers.

C36000 has a machinability rating of 100, the benchmark other alloys are compared against. For drinking-water or RoHS-sensitive applications, low-lead brass can be specified, at slightly higher machining cost. Brass resists corrosion but tarnishes; nickel plating gives a durable silver look, chrome a bright finish, and lacquer keeps polished brass bright.

Threads, diameters and critical features are checked during the run and before packing. Visual inspection covers cosmetic faces for scratches and dents. Typical uses include pneumatic and hydraulic fittings, electrical connectors, threaded inserts, knurled knobs, lamp parts, valve stems, musical instrument components and small decorative hardware for consumer and industrial products.

## FAQ
### Is C36000 brass RoHS compliant?
C36000 contains about 2.5–3.7% lead. RoHS includes an exemption for lead in copper alloys up to 4% by weight, so it is commonly accepted, but some customers or drinking-water standards require low-lead brass. Tell us your compliance requirement and we will use the matching alloy and supply material certificates.

### Why is brass cheaper to machine than stainless steel?
Brass can be cut several times faster than stainless, produces short chips that clear easily, and causes little tool wear. Shorter cycle times and longer tool life lower the cost per part, even though brass bar costs more per kilogram than some steels.

### How do I get a quote for cnc turned and milled c36000 brass components?
Send a 3D model (STEP or IGES) and a 2D drawing with tolerances, material, finish and quantity through the quote form or by email. An engineer replies within 24 hours on business days with price, lead time and any DFM suggestions.
