Brass
Due to its smooth and gold-like appearance, 360 brass is commonly used for decorative elements and structures. However, its strength, corrosion resistance, and density also make it well-suited for use in the manufacture of functional parts and products since components made from the material can withstand regular and rigorous use. Examples of common uses for the material include:
- Screw machine parts, such as nuts, bolts, couplings, connectors, valve stems, and pump shafts
- Musical instruments, such as horns, trombones, trumpets, and tubas
- Electrical equipment parts, such as hardware and contacts
- Plumbing system components, such as adapters, connectors, fittings, pump shafts, and valve stems
- Central heating system parts, such as adapters, fittings, and valves
