About this Brass stock
Product Overview
This Premium Brass Round Bar is available in a 40mm diameter and is crafted from a high-performance CZ121 grade alloy, known for its exceptional hardness and tensile strength. The addition of lead in the alloy composition significantly enhances its machinability, allowing for easier processing and fabrication.
The lead remains insoluble in the microstructure of the brass, enabling soft particles to act as chip breakers during machining. This results in a smoother finish and less wear on cutting tools.
Applications
This versatile brass round bar is ideal for a variety of applications, including:
- Furniture manufacturing
- Architectural extrusions
- Electrical components
- Locks and hinges
