Description
20mm AF Brass Hexagon Bar – Grade CZ121
The 20mm AF brass hexagon bar is a high-quality metal product designed for various industrial, mechanical, and DIY applications. Constructed from Grade CZ121 brass, this hexagon bar combines strength, durability, and excellent machinability, making it a preferred choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.
Material Composition
Crafted from Grade CZ121, this brass hexagon bar consists primarily of copper and zinc, which confer exceptional mechanical properties. Brass is well-known for its good corrosion resistance, allowing it to maintain its integrity and appearance over time. The specific formulation of CZ121 enhances its strength while ensuring it remains easy to work with, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Dimensions and Weight
Measuring 20mm across the flat, the hexagon bar offers a substantial profile that is ideal for a variety of tasks requiring reliability and strength. With a weight of 2.93 kg per metre, it strikes a balance between being solid enough to withstand loads while remaining manageable for handling during fabrication. The hexagonal shape not only provides structural integrity but also allows for efficient gripping and fastening in various projects.
Corrosion Resistance and Finish
One of the standout features of this brass hexagon bar is its good corrosion resistance. The copper content protects it from tarnishing and oxidation, ensuring longevity even in challenging environments. The mill finish gives the bar a raw, industrial look, which can be left as-is for a rugged aesthetic or further treated to enhance its appearance or durability. Options for finishing include polishing, coating, or painting, depending on the desired final look.
Weldability and Machinability
Although the weldability of this brass hexagon bar is rated as poor, it can still be effectively joined using alternative methods such as brazing or soldering. This makes it versatile for various applications where welding is impractical. Its excellent machinability allows for easy cutting, drilling, and shaping, making it suitable for precision engineering tasks and custom fabrications.
Applications
The 20mm AF brass hexagon bar is versatile and can be utilized in numerous applications, including:
- Mechanical Components: Ideal for creating custom fittings, brackets, and other machine parts.
- Architectural Design: Used in decorative elements, hardware, and structural components for both residential and commercial projects.
