Looking for an alternative to 316 SS for the marine parts I'm making to hold a couple delrin parts together. I believe strength wouldn't be an issue, mostly a material cost vs manufacturing cost is what I'm considering. From what I understand 464 grade is the marine grade choice, and that is also known as naval brass?
Is 464 brass friendly enough to machine and tap including saving on the extra tooling costs of 316ss, that it could offset whatever material cost there is?
This part is a 1" long, 2" round, with a .5" long 1.5" dia step on the other end. Simple part.
