Brass Round Bars IS 319 Grade 1 Introduction Brass Round Bars IS 319 Grade 1 are solid cylindrical rods made from a high-quality brass alloy conforming to the IS 319 standard set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Grade 1 specifically refers to a free-cutting brass composition, known for its excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, and strength. These bars are widely used in industries where precision machining and durability are essential. Sizes and Lengths Brass Round Bars are manufactured in a range of sizes to suit different industrial requirements: Diameter Range: 4 mm to 100 mm (can vary by manufacturer) Standard Length: 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters, or customized lengths (commonly up to 6 meters) Tolerances: Close dimensional tolerances as per IS standards, especially important for CNC machining and precision engineering. Chemical Composition (IS 319 Grade 1) The typical chemical composition of IS 319 Grade 1 brass round bars is: Element Composition (%) Copper (Cu) 56.0 – 59.0 Lead (Pb) 2.0 – 3.5 Iron (Fe) 0.35 max Zinc (Zn) Remainder This grade is known for high lead content, which enhances its free-cutting properties, making it ideal for high-speed machining operations. Uses of IS 319 Grade 1 Brass Round Bars Due to its excellent machinability and corrosion resistance, IS 319 Grade 1 brass round bars are used in: Precision Components (like gears, shafts, and valves) Electrical Connectors and Terminals Automobile Parts Hardware and Fasteners Instrumentation and Metering Equipment Sanitary Fittings They are especially favored in mass production industries that require high-speed turning or CNC machining. Conclusion Brass round bars conforming to IS 319 Grade 1 are a preferred material in industries requiring high machinability, moderate strength, and good corrosion resistance. Their consistent performance in demanding applications makes them a reliable choice for manufacturers of precision components and industrial hardware.
