We pride ourselves on delivering top-notch brass materials that are built for exceptional strength, easy machinability, and impressive corrosion resistance. Our rivet brass rods are crafted with precision and feature a smooth surface finish, ensuring they perform consistently well in fastening and fabrication tasks. Renowned for their outstanding cold-working and forming capabilities, these rods are perfect for creating rivets, screws, and other precision hardware components. At Starc Metals, we guarantee that our brass rods are dimensionally accurate, durable, and reliable, making them suitable for both industrial and decorative applications.
Typically, Rivet Brass Rods are made up of about 60–63% copper and 37–40% zinc, with a tiny bit of lead (up to 0.1%) added to enhance machinability. This well-balanced composition gives them excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. In terms of mechanics, these rods boast a tensile strength of around 350–550 MPa and good ductility, which makes cold forming, riveting, and heading operations a breeze. Plus, rivet brass keeps its shine and mechanical properties over time, making it a great choice for components that need to look good and perform well.
