Is H62 brass better than 360 brass?
Neither is universally "better." 360 is usually better for high-speed CNC machining and threaded parts (when lead is allowed). H62 is usually better for forming/bending/stamping and for projects that require very low lead targets. Choose based on manufacturing route + compliance.
What is H62 brass equivalent to?
H62 is often cross-referenced to JIS C2801, DIN CuZn37, ASTM C27400, and EN CW508L. But equivalence depends on exact composition limits + temper + property requirements, so confirm the spec sheet if the part is critical.
Is 360 brass the same as C36000?
In most sourcing contexts, "360 brass" commonly refers to ASTM C36000 (free-machining brass). Always confirm the material standard in the RFQ because "360" can be used loosely in catalogs.
What is H62 brass used for?
H62 is widely used for hardware, decorative components, electrical parts, general engineering components, and many parts made by forming + secondary machining.
What is the composition of H62 brass?
H62 is typically around 61.5–63.5% copper, zinc as the balance, and very low lead (often controlled to low levels such as <0.08% depending on the supply specification).

What's the difference between H59 and H62?
H59 generally has lower copper than H62. In practice, H59 is often used as a cost-effective general brass, while H62 is a more balanced choice for forming + general applications. Your best choice depends on strength needs, forming depth, and cost target.
H62 vs H65 brass: which one is better for forming?
If deep drawing/forming is the priority, H65 is often chosen because its higher copper content can improve ductility/formability. H62 remains a very common "workhorse" for formed parts when you need a balance of properties and cost.
Can H62 brass be cast into complex shapes?
Yes, but outcomes depend heavily on casting method, gating/riser design, section thickness, and machining allowance. If you need tight tolerances or sealing surfaces, plan for secondary machining after casting.
Our factory
Our factory serves as the core base for the precision manufacturing of copper products, integrating advanced equipment, strict quality control, and efficient production capacity. We possess a complete production line covering the entire process from raw material smelting and continuous rolling to precision drawing/cutting, with key equipment including large-tonnage hydraulic stretching machines, high-precision CNC machine tools, and automated surface treatment systems. This enables the large-scale and customized production of a wide range of products such as copper rods, tubes, plates, strips, and wires. The factory strictly adheres to the ISO quality management system and is equipped with testing instruments such as spectrometers and mechanical property testing machines to monitor process parameters and product performance throughout the entire process. Digital production management is achieved through an ERP system and visual dashboards, ensuring timely order delivery. Furthermore, we implement a green manufacturing philosophy, equipped with exhaust gas treatment and scrap recycling systems, committed to providing customers with high-quality and sustainable copper material solutions.
Copper product packaging
We employ professional and reliable packaging solutions to comprehensively protect the integrity of all types of copper products during long-distance transportation and handling. For copper rods and tubes, we use moisture- and rust-proof materials for wrapping, secured with sturdy wooden crates or steel strapping to prevent bending and deformation. Copper plates and strips are sealed with waterproof paper or plastic film, protected with edge guards, and then fixed on customized wooden pallets or metal racks to avoid surface scratches and moisture. Copper wires are neatly wound on specialized reels, wrapped with moisture- and rust-proof film, and reinforced at the edges. All packaging is designed according to export standards, with clear labeling to ensure the safe delivery of goods to our global customers.
