FAQ
Q1: How does C36500 differ from C36300 or C36400?
C36500 offers:
Higher strength
Better pressure resistance
Improved DZR performance
Wider lead control range than C36300
It is ideal for demanding plumbing and valve applications.
Q2: Is C36500 compliant for potable water systems?
Yes. It is a low-lead alloy that complies with NSF 61, RoHS, and global drinking-water standards.
Q3: Can C36500 be hot forged?
Absolutely. It is specially designed for high-temperature forging, making it ideal for forged valves and plumbing fittings.
Q4: How machinable is C36500 compared to C36000?
Machinability is lower than C36000 Free-Cutting Brass, but still excellent with proper tooling, lubrication, and feed rates.
Q5: Does C36500 resist dezincification?
Yes, C36500 is engineered with enhanced dezincification resistance, ideal for aggressive water conditions.
Q6: Do you provide OEM machining and forging service for C36500?
Yes, including:
CNC turning/milling
Drilling, threading
Surface finishing
Forged and machined part production (valves, fittings, plumbing hardware)
