Working with the right tools, equipment, parameters, and conditions can improve the efficiency of high-speed brass cutting. – Using carbide cutting tools or cutters with carbide inserts will improve the material removal rate and extend the tool life, allowing mills to run at a higher speed. – Spindle liners can be applied in your machine shop to protect the equipment, workpiece, and operators, reduce the clearance to damp vibration and eliminate the bar whip, assist in faster-machining speeds and ensure the quality of brass turning or milling parts. – Programming is another crucial aspect of brass cutting. Use the right G-code to set spindle speed and operations based on your needs.
Free-Cutting Brass (Copper C360)Copper C360, also referred to as free-cutting brass, is highly machinable due to the alloy's relatively high amount of lead. Typical applications include gears, screw machine parts, and valve components.
Copper Alloys To enhance or add specific properties, copper is commonly combined with other elements to form copper alloys. Copper is the predominant material within these alloys, but the alloying elements can make up over 40% of the composition of the alloy. The most common alloying element in high amounts is zinc. Depending on which elements are added to the copper, the alloy's name will also change. The most common copper alloys are brass, bronze, copper-nickel, leaded copper, nickel-silver, and gunmetal, among many others.
