ASTM B16 2mm Brass Flat Bar

Description

The ASTM B16 2mm Brass Flat Bar is crafted to meet high standards for free-machining brass, making it ideal for detailed work where precision and machinability are paramount. This particular brass alloy, often referred to as 360 Brass, is noted for its high lead content, which significantly enhances its machinability. This makes it exceptionally suitable for high-speed machining processes including drilling, milling, and tapping, with minimal tool wear.

Its attributes include a yield strength of 15,000 to 45,000 psi and a melting point ranging from 1,630 to 1,650°F, ensuring both durability and reliable performance under various thermal conditions. The ASTM B16 specification confirms that this brass alloy can be utilized effectively in decorative and architectural applications due to its excellent machinability and aesthetic appeal.

This brass bar also offers great corrosion resistance, which is a crucial feature for outdoor or exposed installations, ensuring longevity and maintaining appearance over time. Given its versatility, it is often selected for fabricating components that require precise dimensions and a clean finish, popular in both industrial and decorative applications.
