Our Brass Round Bar is available in a grade CZ121 which is an alpha/beta alloy. It is both ductile and can be cold worked. This round bar is often used for machining, it has lead added to the composition to improve machinability. The lead remains insoluble in the microstructure of the brass and the soft particles act as chip breakers. Brass also has high corrosion resistance and high tensile strength.Applications using brass round bar include:furniturearchitectural extrusionselectrical componentslocks and hinges
