Brass Channel 385 is also known as Architectural Bronze even though it is actually a brass. 385 polishes to an excellent finish, resists corrosion in non-marine environments, and machines comparably well to 360 free-machining brass. It is easy to braze and solder but should not be welded. 385 is typically used in decorative architecture applications and ornamental hardware.
