353 Thread Rolling Brass Machined Parts

Sourcing a brass alloy that holds tight threads and resists wear under constant motion is a common challenge for buyers producing hardware at scale. 353 thread rolling brass machined parts solve that problem directly. 353 thread rolling brass, also known as 353 brass alloy, is a 62% copper, 36% zinc alloy with a small lead addition that gives it standout performance for roll threading and knurling.

E.J. Basler runs 353 brass machining services for industrial buyers placing orders of 100,000 pieces and up, with the process discipline to hold tight tolerances from the first piece to the last.

The lead content in 353 brass improves machinability without compromising its tensile strength of 49,000 to 85,000 PSI or yield strength of 17,000 to 61,900 PSI. That combination of strength and machinability is what makes the alloy so well suited to roll threading, knurling, and other cold-forming operations that would stress a less ductile material.

Key benefits of 353 thread rolling brass

• High machinability for fast, clean roll threading and knurling
• Tensile strength up to 85,000 PSI for demanding thread and fastener applications
• Strong wear resistance for parts that see repeated movement
• Suitable for soldering and brazing operations
• Consistent performance across high-volume production runs
• Cost-effective for production volumes of 100,000 pieces and beyond

353 brass screw machining is specified across hardware, plumbing, and precision instrument manufacturing, wherever a threaded or knurled part needs to hold up under repeated use. Common applications include:

• Clock and watch components
• Drawer handles and pulls
• Keys and lock mechanisms
• Valve stems and seats
• Gears and pinions
• Screws, rivets, and nuts
• Flare fittings and adapters
• Plumbing couplings
• Faucet seats and stems
• Knurled knobs and fasteners
