Our Brass Round Bar is available in a grade CZ121 which is an alpha/beta alloy. A material renowned for its hardness & tensile strength. Machinability vastly enhanced by the addition of lead in the composition. The lead remains insoluble in the microstructure of the brass & the soft particles act as chip breakers. Fabrication of CZ121 by hot working is also excellent. Applications using brass round bar include: Furniture Architectural extrusions Electrical components Locks & hinges
