Brass RodsEngineering Machinability and Precision Components
SHARE
Brass rods represent the benchmark for machinability in the manufacturing world. In particular, free-machining brass containing trace amounts of lead allows CNC machines to run at maximum speeds, creating intricate components with absolute precision.
The secret behind the success of free-cutting brass rods (Grade C36000) is the dispersion of lead particles through the metal matrix. This acts as a natural lubricant and chip-breaker, which reduces friction, extends machine tool life, and provides a polished surface finish.
Furthermore, brass rods exhibit superb dimensional stability under varying temperatures. This makes them ideal for manufacturing delicate fluid control valves, custom plumbing fittings, high-pressure gas connectors, and automotive gear components.
Anjali Metals supplies brass rods in a variety of profiles including round, hexagonal, square, and custom profiles. Each rod is carefully straightened and tested for internal integrity to prevent deformation during high-speed turning and drilling operations.
