Applications | Mechanical and Chemical Data | Tolerances
Also known as "engravers brass" because it's easy to machine, stiff, resists corrosion, and polishes to an exceptional sheen. 353 brass are somewhat less formable than other brass alloys and are rated poor to fair for cold and hot working. Soldering is rated as excellent, brazing as good, but the lead content meant that welding is inadvisable. Beyond usage in brass placards and signs, they are often used in nuts, gears, door hardware, and furniture drawer handles.
