It is true or false brass

This brass it is good for machining ?
Not sur, i buy this but color is not yellow. So, how identify true or false ???

From China, no clear description of grade, honesty it could be plastic painted gold, I wouldn’t buy it. For small quantities of metals I usually shop https://www.onlinemetals.com/ and have been really happy. I’m not super up to date with the grades of brass, but I believe 360 brass is probably what you’re looking for.

The community has some notes at: https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/Materials#Brass

and see:

Impossible to say without some specifications from the seller. If it’s full hard, no. If it’s a weird alloy, maybe not. All you really know at this point is they say it’s brass. They also say it’s weldable…probably mean solderable…hope they mean solderable…brass is not weldable…
