Free Cutting Brass Rods, commonly known as IS 319 / BS 2874 CZ121 / ASTM B16, generally comprise Cu 57–59%, Pb 2.5–3.5%, Fe 0.35% max, with Zn making up the balance. The lead content enhances machinability while maintaining strength. These rods offer impressive mechanical characteristics, including a tensile strength of 350–500 MPa, an elongation of roughly 25%, and solid hardness (100–160 HB). They also deliver outstanding corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and excellent dimensional stability, which makes them ideal for precision machining and the manufacture of complex components.
