Brass Rectangular Rod - Rectangular Precision Profiles

These high-quality brass flat bars (rectangular rods) are an essential semi-finished material for precision engineering, architectural modelling, and high-end prop construction. Renowned for their exceptional solderability and mechanical stability, these profiles provide a clean, sharp-edged finish that is indispensable for structural details and aesthetic metalwork.

Applications:

• Architectural Model Making: The definitive choice for representing metal structures, window mullions, and slender structural beams. The flat-edge profile ensures clean joints and a professional appearance in high-fidelity site models.
• Film & TV Prop Making: A versatile material for constructing intricate "hero" props and detailed scenic elements. The high copper content in the alloy allows the brass to be permanently aged or distressed using patinating agents, creating realistic historical or industrial finishes.
• Prototyping & Engineering: Commonly used for the manufacture of custom spacers, rails, and mechanical components. Its high dimensional accuracy makes it suitable for CNC production, and it can be easily sawn, drilled, and milled.
• Dioramas & Model Railways: Ideal for constructing bespoke trackside structures, bridge girders, and rolling stock details where structural integrity and fine detail are paramount.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Solderability: Specifically designed for tasks requiring secure, neat joints. Note: For the best results, ensure the surface is lightly sanded or polished to remove any natural oxide layer prior to soldering.
• High-Quality Alloy: Offers a balance of strength and ductility, allowing the bars to be shortened easily with a metal hacksaw or circular saw.
• Versatile Bonding: Compatible with a wide range of professional adhesives, including epoxy resins, cyanoacrylates (superglue), and specialised metal-to-metal bonding agents.
• Refined Finish: Can be polished to a high golden shine. To maintain this lustre, it is recommended to apply a clear protective lacquer after polishing.
