Aluminum and Brass Alloys
Aluminum and Brass alloys are found in a wide range of applications from aerospace and aviation, marine applications, to fasteners, hardware and heat sinks and for electrical connectivity.
Typical Aluminum and Brass grades we work with
Some of the most common variants of Aluminum and Brass that we work with. Many others do exist and we are capable of working with them all for your application.
2024 AL
Aluminum 2024 is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy with copper as the primary alloying element. It is commonly used in aerospace applications, such as aircraft structures, for its high strength and fatigue resistance. Recommended finishes for this alloy include anodize, alodyne, and phosphate.
6061 AL
One of the most widely used and versatile Aluminum grades in the world, it is free machining, has excellent heat dissipation and is non-toxic, making it a viable material for consumable goods. It is resistant to corrosion as well.
7075 AL
A robust, stronger version of 6061, it is commonly used in aircraft, small arms, marine and high performance automotive applications.
C260 Brass
Commonly referred to as "Cartridge Brass" it is a mix of 70% Copper and 30% zinc. It is an excellent balance between strength, ductility and resistance to corrosive materials.
C360 Brass
Free cutting and specifically engineered for high speed machining. It is a go-to grade of brass for parts that require extensive machining, such as bolts, screws, fittings and valve components. There is a small amount of lead which can be cause for concern in some environmental applications.
C69300 EnviroBrass
When an environmentally safe option is needed for brass applications, C69300 maintains a similar machinability to C360 without the lead content. It maintains good strength and corrosion resistance and is becoming more prevalent in plumbing applications.
C46400
Naval Brass
When your application demands high corrosion resistance to saltwater environments, Naval Brass is an excellent material for your application. Made of 60% copper, 39.25% Zinc and 0.75% Tin, it is exceptionally durable. Commonly used to produce propeller shafts, marine hardware and some vessel structures.
