Connect C360 Brass Properties to Your Route
Mueller lists a relative machinability rating of 100 for C36000 and poor hot-working capacity. A relative rating does not predict your cycle time. For your C360 brass ASTM B16 requirement, state the edition, stock form and supplied condition; a stock standard does not define finished-part tolerances.

Answers Before You Specify C360
Is C360 the same as C36000?
C360 is commonly used as a short name for UNS C36000. Put the full designation, product standard and supplied condition on your purchase documents.
Is C360 brass lead free?
No. The selected Mueller reference lists lead at 2.5–3.0 wt.%. State end-use restrictions and required evidence before choosing stock; the alloy name does not establish product certification.
Can C360 brass be welded?
Do not assume weldability from its machining designation. Review the joining process, joint design, qualification and final condition with the responsible supplier before approving the route.
What tolerances can be achieved machining C360 brass?
Send critical dimensions, datums, thread requirements, stock condition and final finish. Your quotation confirms feature-specific acceptance after geometry and measurement review.
What information is needed for a C360 brass machining quote?
Send CAD and a controlled drawing, UNS grade and product standard, supplied condition, trial and repeat quantities, finish allowance and inspection requirements. Identify any end-use restrictions.
Can C360 brass be nickel plated?
Review preparation, coating system, adhesion, thickness, masking and final fit with the finishing supplier. Agree the actual receiving evidence; the base material name does not qualify the coating.
Can you review C360 brass Swiss machining?
For your C360 brass Swiss machining inquiry, provide diameter, length, support needs and repeat quantities. The quotation confirms route suitability and availability for your actual part.
How should I compare C360 brass machinability?
Mueller lists a relative rating of 100; AW Fraser lists 95 for its Alloy 360 reference. Different producer references are not universal cycle-time ratios. Compare the same drawing, stock, route and acceptance scope.
