Machined components can be cheaper in brass than in mild steel.

  • All brasses are intrinsically easy to machine

  • The addition of small amounts of lead to brasses further improves this property

  • 'Free machining brass' sets the standard by which other materials are judged when machinability is being assessed

  • Higher machining speeds and lower rates of tool wear mean the overall production costs are minimised

  • Tolerances are held during long production runs and surface finish is excellent.
