Brass Rod

Overview

A rod-shaped product made from copper-zinc alloy, characterized by its yellow color. Varying zinc content affects coloration:

• 18%-20% Zn: Reddish-yellow

• 20%-30% Zn: Brown

Alloys with additional elements (Pb, Sn, Mn, Ni, Fe, Si) are designated Special Brass, offering enhanced wear resistance, high strength/hardness, superior corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability.
