| Main Properties of Brass Rod Alloys | |||
| Category | Halcor Alloy No | Machinability Index | Characteristics and Uses |
| 1 | 583 | 100 | Very good machinability. Suitable for limited hot stamping, especially when further machining will follow. The basic alloy for hollow bar production. |
| 2 | 592/582/5920 | 80 | Good machinability. Very good hot stamping and forging characteristics |
| 3 | 603 | 60 | Reduced machinablility. Good performance in hot stamping and forging. Suitable for limited cold forming (turning, riveting, bending). |
| 4 | 600K | 60 | High corrosion resistance.Fair degree of machinability. Suitable for hot stamping and forging. |
