C360 - (Free Cutting Brass) Most common brass, excellent high speed machining operations and superior thread rolling and knurling characteristics. Easily soldered and brazed and has very good resistance to corrosion.

C464 - (Naval Brass) Excellent for hot forming and adapts well to hot forging and pressing. Good for drawing, forming, bending and heading. It is readily soldered, brazed and welded. Excellent corrosion resistance to seawater at all temperature ranges while maintaining strength and rigidity.

C485 - (Naval Brass Leaded) Similar to C464 the addition of lead to C485 provides a high degree of machine-ability. Good capacity for hot-forming but is not recommended for cold working. Can be readily brazed or soldered. Very good corrosion resistance to seawater.
