Brass vs Bronze CNC Machining: How to Choose the Right Alloy

Compare machinability, wear, corrosion, alloy families, finishing and RFQ requirements for fittings, connectors, bushings and other industrial parts.

CNC turning process for precision industrial components
Material Selection Guide

Select the alloy by function—not simply by color or material family

Use the component’s machining, wear, corrosion, compliance and inspection requirements to decide between brass and bronze.
