VT machining offers CNC Press Brake Forming for C260 Brass (UNS C26000 / CuZn30 / Cartridge brass), typically supplied annealed or half-hard. Excellent cold-forming brass; not leaded, so chips are stringy compared with C360.
CNC Press Brake Forming Notes for C260 Brass
C260 Brass bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C260 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.
