Brass Rod Grade 1 typically consists of about 60-63% copper and 37-40% zinc, creating a well-balanced mix of strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. It may also contain small amounts of lead (up to 0.5%) to improve machinability. This alloy boasts a tensile strength of around 300–500 MPa and can elongate up to 25%, making it perfect for various forming processes. Its outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity, combined with good wear resistance and moderate hardness, makes it an excellent choice for components that need precision and durability under mechanical stress.

Yes, Brass Rod Grade 1 can be welded, but it requires special care due to its high zinc content. Proper technique and filler material are essential to prevent zinc evaporation and porosity.
Yes, Brass Rod Grade 1 is highly suitable for machining due to its excellent machinability. It allows easy cutting, threading, and shaping, making it ideal for precision parts and components.
The hardness of Brass Rod Grade 1 typically ranges between 60-100 HRB (Hardness Rockwell B), depending on the exact composition and temper of the material.
Brass Rod Grade 1 is widely utilized across numerous industries due to its versatility and ease of workability. In the electrical field, it’s often used for terminals, connectors, and switch components because of its superb conductivity. In plumbing, it finds its place in valves, fittings, and fixtures thanks to its corrosion resistance. Mechanical applications include gears, bearings, and fasteners, where durability and machinability are crucial. It’s also popular for decorative purposes, such as architectural accents and hardware. Furthermore, this alloy is ideal for precision components in the automotive and instrumentation sectors, where dimensional stability and ease of fabrication are vital.
