Copper is typically the principal component in Brass Rod, and Zn forms the major portion. According to brass types, compositions can be changed. Still, it contains copper around 60-70% and Zn for around 30-40%. Certain percentages may add other constituents, including Pb, Sn, Fe, and Al to have the particular property of those alloy systems. The mechanical properties of brass rods include the tensile strength in the range 450-800 MPa, yield strength approximately around 200-300 MPa, and elongation of 15-45%. They show high corrosion resistance, good machinability, and high thermal as well as electrical conductivity.

Yes, brass rods are highly suitable for machining due to their excellent machinability. They offer smooth cutting, good strength, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for various mechanical applications.
Yes, brass rods can be welded, but it requires proper technique and equipment. Due to their high copper content, brass can be prone to oxidation and cracking during welding.
The hardness of brass rods typically ranges between 60-100 HRB (Rockwell B scale), depending on the specific alloy and temper, with harder grades reaching up to 150 HB (Brinell hardness).
Brass rods have excellent machinability, high strength, and corrosion resistance that makes them suitable for a vast number of applications. They find their applications widely in the construction of electrical connectors, screws, fasteners, fittings in plumbing systems, and many others. Brass rods are also employed in the fabrication of musical instruments, jewelry, and hardware products such as locks, hinges, and valves, which are aesthetic and resistant to tarnishing and thus suitable for decorative purposes. In addition, brass rods are used in automotive applications, such as engine components, and in marine environments because of their resistance to seawater corrosion. They are versatile and, therefore, very essential in many industries.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
