Brass Bar

What Is a Brass Bar?

An alloy of copper and zinc, brass can be made into bars with different cross-section profiles. It is a popular, inexpensive alternative to other copper-based alloys due to its ductility and workability. The precise ratio of copper to zinc, furnace temperature, and additives affect each alloy’s characteristics, though they generally include:

• Moderate strength
• Exceptional ductility
• Easy to machine, roll, press, and deep draw
• Corrosion resistance
• Antimicrobial properties

Cold working can improve brass’ tensile strength as well as prepare the material for annealing. Adding lead between 0.5% to 4% can lower the alloy’s plasticity and ductility, which can be a desired property in some applications
