Brass Grade Comparison Guide
Use this as buyer guidance only. Final grade selection should follow drawing, machining, forming, corrosion exposure, temper, lead-content restrictions and project specification.
| Grade | Common buyer reason | Typical forms | RFQ note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brass C260 | cartridge brass for sheets, strips and formed parts | sheets, strips, plates, coils, circles and formed blanks | Share temper, thickness, width, length, finish and forming requirement when C260 is used for stamping or drawing. |
| Brass C360 | free cutting brass for rods, bars and machining | round rods, hex bars, square bars, flats, profiles and machined blanks | Share drawing, diameter or across-flats size, tolerance, temper and machining allowance for C360 enquiries. |
| Brass C464 | naval brass for marine and corrosion-aware parts | rods, bars, plates, sheets, tubes, flats and marine hardware blanks | Share end-use environment, drawing, size, quantity, standard and inspection requirement for marine or seawater-adjacent enquiries. |
| Brass C280 | Muntz brass for sheets, plates and fabrication | sheets, plates, strips, rods, bars and cut pieces | Confirm C280 against the drawing or project document before substitution with other brass grades. |
| Brass C385 | architectural brass profiles, shapes and hardware | rods, bars, profiles, shapes, flats and machined hardware blanks | Share drawing, profile dimensions, finish, temper and any architectural surface requirement for C385 enquiries. |
Brass Naming and Equivalent Reference Guidance
Brass enquiries may use ASTM/UNS, EN, BS, DIN, CZ or project-specific references. Rubinox reviews these references against composition, temper, product form, drawing and buyer approval requirements instead of assuming automatic substitution.
| Buyer reference | How to review it | RFQ caution |
|---|---|---|
| C260 / cartridge brass | Commonly reviewed for sheets, strips, coils, circles and formed parts. | Share temper, thickness, width, finish and forming requirement. |
| C272 / yellow brass references | Can be reviewed at category level when the buyer shares exact standard, composition and product form. | Do not treat C272 as an automatic substitute for C260 or C280 without buyer or project approval. |
| C280 / Muntz brass | Reviewed for sheets, plates, rods, bars and fabrication requirements. | Confirm whether the drawing or project document specifically calls for C280. |
| C360 / free cutting brass | Commonly reviewed for rods, bars, inserts, turned parts and machining. | Share drawing, tolerance, diameter, across-flats size, temper and machining allowance. |
| C385 / architectural brass | Reviewed for profiles, shapes, hardware and decorative or architectural components. | Share profile drawing, dimensions, finish and surface requirement. |
| C464 / naval brass | Reviewed for marine hardware and corrosion-aware requirements where the project specifies C464. | Confirm end-use environment, standard, drawing, dimensions and inspection requirement. |
| CZ108 / CZ121 / CZ124 | BS/EN/CZ references can be reviewed when exact composition, standard and temper are provided. | Do not assume equivalence with C260, C360, C464, C280 or C385 unless the buyer or project specification approves it. |
Product Forms and Standards Guidance
| Product form | Details buyers should share | Common brass grades reviewed |

C260 is commonly reviewed for cartridge brass sheet and formed parts, C360 for free cutting rods and machined parts, and C464 for naval brass or marine-related requirements where specified.
Which brass grade is suitable for machining?
C360 free cutting brass is commonly reviewed for machining, turned parts, fittings, inserts and precision components. The final choice should follow drawing, tolerance and buyer specification.
Which brass grade is reviewed for marine hardware?
C464 naval brass is often reviewed for marine hardware and corrosion-aware applications when the project specification calls for C464.
