C34500 Leaded Brass (CuZn35Pb2)

Download PDF

MA34B is a leaded brass with machinability rating of 90, moderate strength, and capacity for cold work. The alloy is very simlar to MA35B / C35300, but optimized to provide better bending performance. Example uses include parts requiring a combination of machining and forming operations, such as crimping, knurling, or thread rolling.
