Brass 385 square bar (architectural brass) is a free machining copper zinc alloy designed for applications requiring excellent surface finish, corrosion resistance, and decorative appeal. Known for its ability to polish to a bright, high quality sheen, C38500 is commonly used in architectural, ornamental, and furniture applications where appearance and performance are equally important.
This alloy offers good machinability comparable to 360 brass, allowing for efficient cutting and fabrication of detailed components. It performs well in hot working processes but is less suitable for cold forming and is not recommended for welding. Brass 385 also provides reliable resistance to corrosion in non marine environments, making it ideal for indoor and protected outdoor use. Supplied in M30 extruded condition, it provides consistent dimensional stability and surface quality.
Applications: Architectural components, furniture parts, ornamental hardware, decorative trim, structural accents, fabrication projects.
Temper: M30 Extruded
