Brass is a metal alloy made of a combination of copper and zinc. It demonstrates excellent electrical conductivity and good machinability. Known for its low friction properties and gold-like appearance, brass is commonly used in the architecture sector as well as to manufacture gears, locks, pipe fittings, musical instruments and more.

Brass C360 | Brass C360 is a soft metal with the highest lead content amongst brass alloys. It is known for having the best machinability of brass alloys and causes minimal wear on CNC machine tools. Brass C360 is broadly used for fabricating gears, pinions and lock parts. | 15,000 psi | 53% | Rockwell B35 | 0.307 lbs / cu. in. | 1650° F |

| Powder Coating | Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. | Aluminum | Black, any RAL code or Pantone number | Gloss or semi-gloss | |
| Electroplating | Electroplated coating preserves the surface of parts and resists rusts and other defects from causing decay by applying electric currents to reduce metal cations. | Aluminum, steel, stainless steel | n/a | Gloss or semi-gloss | |
| Polishing | Ranging from Ra 0.8~Ra0.1, polishing processes use an abrasive material to rub the part’s surface to make the shine more less shiny, depending on your requirements. | All materials | n/a | Smooth, glossy finish | |
| Painting | Painting involves spraying a layer of paint onto the surface of the part. Colors can be matched to a Pantone color number of the customer’s choosing, while finishes range from matte to gloss to metallic. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel | Custom | Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured |
