Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between brass and bronze?

Brass is primarily an alloy of copper and zinc, while bronze is copper and tin. Brass offers better machinability and is generally more cost-effective, while bronze provides superior strength and corrosion resistance in marine environments.

Can you provide lead-free brass options?

Yes, we offer several lead-free brass alloys including C69300 (Eco Brass) and C46500 (Naval Brass) that meet all regulatory requirements for drinking water and food contact applications.

What tolerances can you achieve on brass parts?

Our standard tolerance is Âą0.05mm (Âą0.002"), with precision tolerances down to Âą0.025mm (Âą0.001") achievable for critical features. Tighter tolerances may be possible depending on part geometry.

How do you prevent tarnishing on brass parts?

We offer various protective finishes including clear lacquer, nickel plating, and chrome plating. For parts requiring natural brass appearance, we can apply specialized coatings that prevent tarnishing while maintaining the material's aesthetic.

What's your minimum order quantity for brass parts?

We have no minimum order quantity. We can produce single prototypes or scale to production runs of 10,000+ pieces. Our pricing structure is optimized for both low and high-volume orders.

Do you offer design assistance for brass parts?

Yes, our engineering team provides comprehensive design for manufacturing (DFM) support, including material selection, tolerance optimization, and cost reduction strategies specific to brass machining.
