Brass CZ131 (CW617N) — Machining & Properties
Typical properties, what Brass CZ131 (CW617N) is like on a machine tool, what it gets used for, and the tolerance and finishes we hold on it — from a shop that actually machines it, not a datasheet aggregator. Every figure here drives our own calculators.
Machining Brass CZ131 (CW617N)
Machinability is rated excellent — one of the friendlier materials on a machine tool — expect efficient cycle times and good surface finish at sensible cost. Brass CZ121 and CZ131 are among the most economical materials to machine — their outstanding chip-breaking behaviour allows high speeds and excellent surface finish. Beryllium copper must be machined with appropriate respiratory controls in place.
Our standard achievable tolerance on Brass CZ131 (CW617N) is ±0.005mm under normal conditions, with tighter tolerances on critical features agreed at quotation. Standard finishes: As machined, nickel plate. Full material traceability with MTR and CoC documentation on every order.
Typical applications
Threaded components, turned precision parts, fluid couplings.
