Specification: CZ121 Brass
This material is brilliant for milling, turning and drilling purposes. Perfect for the model engineer and machinist.
This
material is the most widely used of all the brasses due to its
suitability for high speed machining operations and also the manufacture
of intricate parts. Its combination of machinability, thread rolling
and knurling characteristics, combined with its good strength, an ease
of soldering / brazing and a high resistance to corrosion makes it the
ideal choice for many brass components throughout industry.

Material Information
Brass
is an alloy that is comprised of copper and zinc. Different grades of
brass will also contain elements of other alloys that will provide
different properties. Brass has a high tensile strength, high corrosion
resistance and is suitable to be hot forged.
CZ121
is the standard European grade of free-machining brass consisting of a
duplex structure and a 3% lead addition. The particles of lead are
finely dispersed throughout the microstructure and acts as both a
lubricant and a chip breaker to give the alloy its free machining
characteristics.
The
machinability rating of 100% for CZ121 is the standard against which
all other copper alloys are rated. It is the most widely used of all the
brasses due to its suitability for high speed machining operations and
also the manufacture of intricate parts. Its combination of
machinability, thread rolling and knurling characteristics, combined
with its good strength, an ease of soldering / brazing and a high
resistance to corrosion makes it the ideal choice for many brass
components throughout industry.
Typical Uses:
Traditional
uses for CZ121 include a wide variety of machined components made on
high speed lathes including screws, bolts, nuts, bushing, pins, washers,
butts, hinges and also locks and components for watches.
