Welcome to Tariku Metals, your trusted partner for premium materials right here in the heart of Addis Ababa. As a cornerstone of Ethiopia’s growing industrial landscape, we pride ourselves on supplying manufacturers and artisans with the reliable, high-quality brass rod Grade 1 they need to build, create, and innovate. We understand that the foundation of any great project is superior raw material, which is why we ensure our customers receive nothing less.
Brass rod Grade 1 is defined by its classic composition of approximately 65% copper and 35% zinc, creating a material that is both strong and remarkably easy to work with. This specific balance gives it excellent corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity. Mechanically, it offers a great combination of toughness and ductility, meaning it can be shaped, turned, and machined into intricate components with a fine finish, all without sacrificing its inherent strength for a wide range of applications.
| Chemical Requirements | Grade I |
| Cu | 56 to 58 % |
| Pb | 2 to 3.50 % |
| Fe | 0.3% Max |
| Zn | Balance |
| Other Impurities excel Fe. | 0.75% Max |
| Element | Value |
| Yield Stress | 150 MPa Min. |
| Tensile Strength | 380 MPa Min. |
| Hardness Brinell | 90 to 160 HB |
| Elongation | 18 Min. |
| CZ121 | CW614N | CuZn39PB3 |

Yes, Brass Rod Grade 1 can be welded, but it requires special care due to its high zinc content. Proper technique and filler material are essential to prevent zinc evaporation and porosity.
Yes, Brass Rod Grade 1 is highly suitable for machining due to its excellent machinability. It allows easy cutting, threading, and shaping, making it ideal for precision parts and components.
The hardness of Brass Rod Grade 1 typically ranges between 60-100 HRB (Hardness Rockwell B), depending on the exact composition and temper of the material.
The versatility of this brass rod makes it a favorite across many trades. Machinists value it for creating precise parts like valves, fittings, and gears, while artisans craft beautiful decorative hardware, musical instruments, and architectural accents. Its reliability also makes it essential for electrical components and marine fittings. Essentially, wherever you need a material that is durable, corrosion-resistant, and a dream to machine, Tariku Metals’ brass rod Grade 1 is the proven choice for bringing your designs to life with confidence.
