Free Cutting Brass Rods generally consist of about 60–65% Copper, 1.5–3% Lead, and the rest is Zinc. The lead content significantly boosts machinability by acting as a lubricant during the cutting process. These rods showcase tensile strength between 350 to 500 MPa and a good elongation of around 10–15%. Free Cutting Brass is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, moderate hardness, and superb chip formation, which allows for smooth and rapid machining. The alloy is also easy to cold form and solder, making it ideal for mass production of precision turned parts and fasteners.
