You can order C34500 high leaded brass from Diversified Bronze. This alloy has very high machinability because it has higher amounts of lead. In addition, it resists corrosion well and has high strength.
C34500 is used in the industrial and plumbing industries. Some common applications include:
Diversified Bronze has solid and cored bronze bars in 144" lengths. Other lengths and non-standard sizes are available.
C34500 is made up of 62.0-65% copper, 32.5-36.5% zinc, and 1.50-2.50% lead. The best welding techniques include:
