Description
The 9.5mm (3/8") Brass Round Bar is a versatile and high-performance material, widely used in precision machining and various industrial applications. Made from CZ121 grade brass, this round bar offers excellent machinability, making it an ideal choice for projects that require precise cutting, drilling, and threading.
Material and Grade
The CZ121 brass used in this round bar is known for its exceptional machinability, making it perfect for producing components that need intricate detailing. As a free-cutting brass alloy, CZ121 ensures smooth and efficient cutting operations, reducing wear on cutting tools. This makes it particularly well-suited for producing threaded components, valves, and fittings.
Dimensions and Specifications
With a 9.5mm diameter (equivalent to 3/8”), this brass round bar provides a solid and reliable structure for a variety of projects. It comes in a mill finish, giving it a raw, untreated surface ready for further machining or processing. Weighing 0.6kg per metre, it provides a robust and durable material for medium-duty applications.
Corrosion Resistance and Weldability
The corrosion resistance of this round bar is rated as good, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, as well as projects where exposure to moisture or other elements is expected. However, the weldability is poor, which means it’s not recommended for tasks involving welding. This limitation is offset by its excellent performance in machining and cutting applications.
Applications
The 9.5mm Brass Round Bar is widely used in industries such as engineering, automotive, and plumbing. Its high machinability makes it ideal for creating precision components, such as gears, bushings, locks, and valve parts. It's also commonly used in the manufacture of fittings and connectors, where accuracy and durability are essential.
Conclusion
The 9.5mm (3/8") Brass Round Bar (CZ121) is an excellent choice for professionals and hobbyists looking for a durable and highly machinable material. Its good corrosion resistance and superb machinability make it suitable for various industrial uses, even though its weldability is limited. Ideal for creating precision parts, this brass round bar is a reliable and versatile material for multiple applications.
