About this Brass stock
Product Overview
The Premium 3mm Brass Hexagon Bar is crafted from CZ121 grade brass, an alloy celebrated for its remarkable hardness and tensile strength. The addition of lead significantly enhances machinability, with lead remaining insoluble in the brass's microstructure. This results in soft particles that serve as effective chip breakers, making fabrication through hot working processes highly efficient.
Applications
This high-performance brass hexagon bar is suitable for a wide array of applications, including:
- Furniture
- Architectural extrusions
- Electrical components
- Locks and hinges
- Nuts & bolts
