Brass Round Rods - Solid Precision Profiles

These high-quality brass round rods are an essential semi-finished material for precision engineering, detailed model making, and high-end prop construction. Composed of a non-magnetic copper-zinc alloy, they provide exceptional mechanical stability alongside a refined aesthetic finish. Available in a vast range of diameters, from filigree 0.5mm wires to robust 20mm bars, these rods are selected by professionals for their consistent quality and superb workability.

Applications:

• Architectural Model Making: An indispensable material for representing structural steelwork, balustrades, and intricate urban detailing. The golden lustre of the brass provides a premium aesthetic for high-end presentation models, particularly when depicting luxury metal fixtures or contemporary structural features.
• Film & TV Prop Making: A go-to for "hero" props, period-accurate detailing, and futuristic "greebles". The materials ability to take various ageing patinas (like liver of sulphur) makes it ideal for creating weathered, historical, or industrial effects that are camera-ready.
• Prototyping & Engineering: Commonly used for the manufacture of small mechanical parts, valves, and electrical contacts. Its high dimensional accuracy and rigidity make it suitable for CNC production, lathe work, and functional prototypes where electrical conductivity is required.
• Jewellery & Fine Craft: Perfect for "cold connections" (riveting), soldering, and forming. The smaller diameters act as a high-quality wire for filigree work, while larger rods provide stable frameworks for sculptural pieces.

Key Features:

• Excellent Workability: Brass is renowned for its ease of processing; it can be drilled, milled, sawn, and turned on a lathe with precision. It is also exceptionally receptive to soft soldering and brazing.
• Non-Magnetic & Corrosion-Resistant: The alloy is naturally non-magnetic and highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion, making it suitable for functional electronic prototypes and long-term display models.
• Mechanical Stability: Offers a high level of strength and rigidity, providing structural integrity for frame constructions and slender architectural elements.
• Aesthetic Lustre: The natural metallic finish can be polished to a high mirror shine or treated with chemical patinating fluids to achieve a range of industrial and historical textures.
