Brass Ms58 / 2.0401 / CuZn39Pb3
- Alternative Designations: CuZn39Pb3 (DIN) | CW614N | EN 12164 (EN) | C38500 (ASTM) | C38500 (UNS) | C3603 (JIS) | 385 (CDA)
Description:
It is an alloy of copper and zinc, and is known for its strength and durability. Brass Ms58 is often used in the production of plumbing fixtures, door hardware, and musical instruments. This material has excellent hot formability and can easily be soldered or brazed. It is also suitable for use in the sanitary industry, engine and vehicle construction and swivel parts. It has very good free-cutting. It offers a number of advantages over other materials, such as its ability to resist corrosion and its low cost.

CNC machined part without surface finishes (3D render, aluminium)Bead blasting (3D render)
Bead blasting
Bead blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny beads of media, plastic or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.
Notes:The recommended part size is 6-600 mm in both height and width. Smaller parts are hard to hold and tough to produce an even surface.
Final result:
- Uniform, matte or satin-like appearance
- Slightly grainy in the touch
-
Electroless nickel plating
Electroless nickel plating provides a uniform nickel coating, which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces.
Final result:
- Protection from corrosion, oxidation and wear on irregular surfaces
- Brighter appearance
-
Gold plating
Gold plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance. Gold has low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and solderability.
Final result:
- Gold-like appearance
- Increased corrosion and tarnish resistance
-
Custom Finishing
If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually takes 1-2 business days.
Notes:Submitting for manual review with a custom request does not guarantee a quote.
