At Falcon CNC Machining, we deliver precision brass components engineered for industries where performance and reliability are critical. With advanced 5-axis CNC technology, ISO 9001 certification, and expertise in over 15 brass alloys, we provide tailored solutions for marine, electronics, plumbing, and aerospace applications.
Brass’s unique blend of machinability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity makes it indispensable across sectors. Here’s how we meet industry-specific challenges:
1. Marine & Offshore
C464 Naval Brass (ASTM B21): Machined components like propeller shafts, valve bodies, and cleats withstand saltwater corrosion for 10+ years.
Heat Exchanger Tubes: Seamless brass tubes with ±0.02 mm tolerances for efficient thermal transfer.
2. Plumbing & HVAC
C360 Free-Cutting Brass: High-speed production of fittings, nozzles, and valve stems with Ra 0.4µm surface finishes to prevent leaks.
Bulk Order Efficiency: 15% cost reduction on orders exceeding 5,000 units.
3. Electronics & Aerospace
C230 Red Brass: RF shielding plates and connectors with 98% IACS conductivity (Copper Development Association).
C485 Leaded Brass: Low-friction bushings for aircraft landing gear, meeting AMS 4610 standards.
Industries We Serve
| Industry | Application | Key Alloy Used |
| Marine | Propeller shafts, valve bodies | C464 (Naval Brass) |
| Plumbing | Compression fittings, faucet cartridges | C360 (Free-Cutting) |
| Electronics | Connectors, RF shielding | C230 (Red Brass) |
| Aerospace | Fuel system components, bushings | C48500 (Leaded Brass) |
C360 (Free-Cutting Brass) is the gold standard for high-volume, precision parts due to:
Superior Machinability: 80% rating vs. 60% for C260 (CDA data), reducing tool wear by 30%.
Cost Efficiency: Minimal post-processing for complex geometries like helical threads or micro-holes (down to Ø0.5 mm).
Applications:
Fire suppression nozzles (prototyped in 5 days for a U.S. manufacturer).
Medical device connectors with ISO 13485-compliant finishes.
Technical Edge:
Our 5-axis CNC machines achieve ±0.01 mm tolerances on C360 parts.
Chip Control Optimization: Prevents galling during high-speed drilling, ensuring smooth finishes.
Client: Confidential OEM
Challenge: Saltwater corrosion caused premature failure of steel cleats on offshore rigs.
Solution:
Material Switch: C464 Naval Brass (CuZn21Si3P) for superior corrosion resistance.
5-Axis CNC Machining: Produced 500 cleats with integrated drainage channels to prevent water pooling.
Surface Treatment: Electroless nickel plating for added protection (ASTM B733).
Results:
40% Longer Lifespan: No corrosion observed after 1,000-hour salt spray testing (ASTM B117).
20% Weight Reduction: Hollow-core design reduced load on rig structures.
