Yes, Brass Rod Grade 1 can be welded, but it requires special care due to its high zinc content. Proper technique and filler material are essential to prevent zinc evaporation and porosity.
Yes, Brass Rod Grade 1 is highly suitable for machining due to its excellent machinability. It allows easy cutting, threading, and shaping, making it ideal for precision parts and components.
The hardness of Brass Rod Grade 1 typically ranges between 60-100 HRB (Hardness Rockwell B), depending on the exact composition and temper of the material.
Thanks to its versatile properties, Brass Rod Grade 1 is widely used across various industries. It’s commonly found in plumbing fittings, valves, electrical connectors, fasteners, and hardware components. Its superb machinability and resistance to corrosion make it a top choice for marine components and decorative hardware. Moreover, it’s utilized in the automotive sector for radiator cores and fuel systems, as well as in precision instruments and architectural applications. The alloy’s excellent conductivity also makes it ideal for electrical terminals and grounding components in a variety of electrical and electronic systems.
