Nothing much — this is the easiest metal in the shop. Worth asking about if a copper or bronze part is cost-driven rather than conductivity-driven.
Machining C464 Naval Brass with CNC Lathe Machining
When turning C464 Naval Brass, machinability is good; added tin for seawater corrosion resistance. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for C464 Naval Brass mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Lathe Machining C464 Naval Brass
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Outside diameter | ±0.05 mm | ±0.005 mm |
| Bore diameter | H9 | H6 |
| Length / shoulder position | ±0.10 mm | ±0.020 mm |
| Concentricity OD to ID | 0.05 mm TIR | 0.010 mm TIR |
| Roundness | 0.02 mm | 0.005 mm |
| Thread class | 6g / 2A | 4h / 3A |
| Surface finish, as turned | Ra 1.6 µm | Ra 0.4 µm |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
CNC Lathe Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned C464 Naval Brass holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Design Tips for CNC Lathe Machining C464 Naval Brass
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help C464 Naval Brass turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most C464 Naval Brass parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Lathe Machining Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Why C464 Naval Brass?
Customers select C464 Naval Brass for CNC Lathe Machining because it is seawater-corrosion-resistant marine brass. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.

What We Need to Quote CNC Lathe Machining C464 Naval Brass
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact C464 Naval Brass grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Does CNC Lathe Machining C464 Naval Brass require dedicated tooling?
Most C464 Naval Brass turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Lathe Machining on C464 Naval Brass?
Machined C464 Naval Brass edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Which industries use CNC Lathe Machining C464 Naval Brass parts?
CNC Lathe Machining C464 Naval Brass parts are used across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor and general industrial sectors — anywhere precise C464 Naval Brass components are required.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Lathe Machining C464 Naval Brass?
Achievable tolerances for C464 Naval Brass turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
