Brass Shafting

Description

Brass Shafting
Brass shafting is a precision-machined rod product known for its excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and smooth finish. It combines strength with a low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for rotating and sliding applications.

Material Composition:
Primarily composed of copper (around 60–70%) and zinc (30–40%), with possible small additions of lead or tin to enhance machinability (e.g., in free-cutting brass).

Industrial Usage:
Commonly used in manufacturing gears, bushings, bearings, clock parts, valves, and decorative hardware. Popular in industries such as automotive, marine, plumbing, instrumentation, and general machinery due to its durability and resistance to wear and corrosion.
