Detailed size range

Diameter/side length range:

Round bars: 1.5-500 mm diameter (mentioned, suppliers can provide very fine to coarse specifications).

Square bars: Common sizes include 0.75 inches (19.05 mm), 1 inch (25.4 mm), 2 inches (50.8 mm), with tolerances of ±0.0045 inches and ±0.005 inches respectively.

Length: Standard length is 12 feet (about 3.66 meters), but can be customized up to 6000 mm on demand.

Other shapes: hexagonal bars, rectangular bars, strips, etc.

International standards

Main standards:

ASTM B21/B21M-20: Covers the production requirements of naval brass bars, strips and shapes, and explicitly includes C4640.

ASME standards: such as SB171 (plates for condensers), B124 (forgings), etc.

SAE standards: J461, J463 (bars and shapes).

Other certifications: SGS certification (quality and safety assurance).

Tolerances and testing: Must comply with ASTM B21 dimensional tolerances (e.g. ±0.0045 inches), mechanical property tests (tensile, hardness, etc.) and chemical composition requirements.

Chemical composition

Copper (Cu): 59.0%–62.0% (core component)

Tin (Sn): 0.5%–1.0% (key additive, improving corrosion resistance)

Zinc (Zn): balance (about 37.5%–39.25%)

Lead (Pb): ≤0.20% (improves processability)

Iron (Fe): ≤0.10% (impurity limit)

Other trace elements: extremely low or undetectable content of aluminum, manganese, nickel, etc.
