About C3712 Forging Brass

C3712, Engraving brass, are 60/40 alpha-beta brasses with different levels of lead added to give free machining properties. They are widely used for engraved plates and plaques, builders hardware, gears. They should not be used for acid etched work, for which the single-phase alpha brasses should be used.
