Starc Metals is your go-to manufacturer and supplier of Naval Brass Rods right here in Canberra, Australia. We take pride in delivering top-notch brass products that are specifically designed for marine and industrial uses. Our naval brass rods stand out for their impressive corrosion resistance, remarkable strength, and outstanding durability, particularly in harsh seawater and salt-laden conditions. With a well-balanced composition and a smooth finish, these rods offer fantastic machinability and formability. At Starc Metals, we guarantee precise dimensions, consistent quality, and dependable performance, making our naval brass rods perfect for shipbuilding, marine hardware, and heavy engineering sectors where strength and resistance to dezincification are crucial.
Typically, Naval Brass Rods are made up of about 60% copper, 39% zinc, and 1% tin, which greatly boosts their corrosion resistance and toughness. This alloy showcases a tensile strength ranging from 350 to 600 MPa, along with good ductility and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The inclusion of tin enhances its resistance to dezincification, making it ideal for long-term exposure to seawater. Additionally, naval brass boasts great hot-working and moderate cold-working properties, as well as good machinability and polishing features.
