Neil Metals, located in Kolkata, India, is a well-respected manufacturer and supplier of High Tensile Brass Rods, crafted for exceptional strength, machinability, and resistance to corrosion. Our High Tensile Brass Rods are made from top-quality raw materials and precise alloying methods, ensuring they meet international standards for performance and durability. These rods are perfect for components that face mechanical stress and wear, making them vital in industries like automotive, marine, defense, and heavy engineering. At Neil Metals, we provide a diverse range of sizes and custom specifications, guaranteeing our customers receive reliable, high-performance brass products with consistent quality and prompt delivery.
High Tensile Brass Rods generally consist of around 60% copper, 37% zinc, along with small amounts of iron, aluminum, or manganese to enhance strength and hardness. This blend boosts tensile strength (often surpassing 60–70 ksi) and offers excellent wear resistance while still allowing for good machinability. The rods also show impressive corrosion resistance, especially in marine and industrial environments. Their mechanical properties include high impact strength, moderate ductility, and outstanding forging characteristics. These features make High Tensile Brass perfect for heavily loaded components that need both strength and the ability to resist deformation under operational stress.

High Tensile Brass Rods find extensive use in engineering applications that demand strength, corrosion resistance, and precision machining. They are commonly used to manufacture gears, valve bodies, fasteners, pump parts, marine hardware, and heavy-duty bearings. In the automotive sector, these rods are utilized for connectors, fuel system components, and structural fittings. Their ability to withstand saltwater corrosion makes them a favorite in marine and offshore applications. Additionally, high tensile brass is employed in the defense and aerospace industries for load-bearing components.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
