Brass 385 Square Tube 5/8" x 5/8" x 0.093" wall Retail Price

About 385|Architectural bronze (actually a leaded brass: 57% copper, 40% zinc, 3% lead). Don’t let the name fool you — this is a brass, not a true tin bronze. The lead gives it free-machining properties similar to C360. Its selling point is the warm, dark gold color and excellent weathering characteristics for exterior applications. Storefronts, door handles, window frames, and decorative panels are its sweet spot. Machines well and extrudes well. Compare to C360 (similar machinability, lighter color) and 280 Muntz metal (cheaper, no lead, harder to machine).
