Advantages of Brass Round Bar
Tensile Strength
Brass round bars have great tensile strength. They can carry or withstand between 49,000 to 68,000 psi. The bars also have a high shear strength of 30,500 to 45,000 psi.
Durability
Aside from its exceptional strength, brass round bars are also highly durable. In addition, brass has a natural corrosion resistance, as well as great machinability.
Malleability
A metric brass round bar is highly malleable, which allows manufacturers to manipulate the brass easily into their desired form. Brass round bars can be shaped with a die or lathe machine.
Non-sparking
Brass round bars are commonly used for electrical work. It has the advantage of being a non-sparking or spark-proof conductor. This helps reduce the risk of sparks and potential fire hazards.
Economical Cost
Despite all these characteristics and benefits, brass remains one of the most affordable metals. Its low cost is due to its wide availability, as its main components, copper and zinc, are found in abundance. Moreover, brass round bars generally do not need special equipment or expensive tools to manufacture.
