Leaded Brass Rods: Excellent Performance, Wide Application

What is Leaded Brass Rod

Leaded brass rod is a type of brass rod containing lead, with main components being copper(Cu), zinc(Zn), and lead(Pb). The addition of lead can improve the material's machinability, making it more suitable for mechanical processing. Generally, the lead content is between 1.8% and 3.7%. Lead brass has good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high strength.

Characteristics of Leaded Brass Rod

First of all, the leaded brass rod has very high strength. The addition of lead can enhance the alloy's machinability and lubrication properties, making it easier to form chips during processing and reducing processing difficulty. Brass provides good strength and hardness, giving the alloy excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance. Therefore, leaded brass rods are widely used in manufacturing bearings, gears, threads, and other mechanical parts.

Additionally, the leaded brass rod has excellent corrosion resistance. The lead in the alloy can improve copper's corrosion resistance and wear resistance, allowing leaded brass rods to maintain good performance in humid and corrosive environments and avoid damage due to corrosion. This makes leaded brass rods widely used in marine engineering and chemical equipment manufacturing.

Moreover, leaded brass rods also possess good electrical and thermal conductivity. This makes leaded brass rods widely used in the fields of electrical equipment and heat transfer equipment. The alloy has good electrical conductivity and can be used as raw materials for manufacturing cable connectors, electrical contact materials, and electrical wires and connections. At the same time, the leaded brass rod's excellent thermal conductivity also makes it a good heat transfer material, suitable for manufacturing heat exchangers and radiators.

Application Areas of Leaded Brass Rod

Due to the extremely high strength of leaded brass rods, along with excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, they are widely used in the manufacturing of ships, mechanical equipment, and electronic devices. Specifically, leaded brass rods are used for manufacturing machine parts such as bearings, connection plates, transmission wheels, and propellers; they are also used in the production of electronic devices and musical instruments.

Leaded brass rod is a copper alloy material with excellent characteristics, widely used and effectively applied. In actual production and use, appropriate processing methods and maintenance should be selected according to the material's characteristics and processing requirements to ensure product quality and service life. 

Overall, the leaded brass rod, as a lead brass alloy material, has a wide range of applications in industrial production and manufacturing. It has good machinability, corrosion resistance, electrical, and thermal conductivity, meeting the needs of various industrial fields. With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, the application range of leaded brass rods will continue to expand, providing more convenience and possibilities for industrial production and manufacturing.
