George Metals, a leading manufacturer and supplier located in Houston, USA, specializes in high-quality Lead-Free Brass Rods that are perfect for environmentally conscious and regulation-compliant uses. These rods are crafted to meet ROHS and safe drinking water standards, including NSF/ANSI 61 and 372, ensuring they offer great machinability, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity—all without any toxic lead additives. With options like CW510L or C69300, George Metals produces lead-free brass rods in various sizes and tempers, following ASTM B124/B16 specifications. These rods find their place in plumbing, electronics, medical devices, and precision engineering industries, where safety and compliance are paramount.
Lead-Free Brass Rods mainly consist of Copper (usually 60–70%), Zinc (the remainder), and small amounts of elements like Silicon, Bismuth, or Arsenic, depending on the specific grade. This composition allows for the elimination of lead while still ensuring machinability and corrosion resistance. Alloys such as C69300 boast a tensile strength of 380–500 MPa, good ductility, and impressive dezincification resistance. George Metals guarantees that each rod is manufactured with precision and undergoes strict quality control, resulting in a consistent grain structure, dimensional tolerance, and surface finish—perfect for components that require high reliability and adherence to international health and environmental standards.
