Brass Hexagon 2.0401 SW 4mm-40mm Ms58 Rod Bar Full Material 6-sided Profile

Brass hexagon with material grade number 2.0401 is made from a copper-zinc-lead alloy. The copper content is approx. 57-59%, zinc - 36-40%, and lead - 2.5-3.5%. CuZn39Pb3 is the main alloy for machining in Germany. In particular, the material is suitable for processing on automatic machines. Brass 6-sided is also well suited for punching, but at the same time has low corrosion resistance. The material can be very well hot-formed and only limited cold-formed (due to the risk of stress corrosion cracking). Cold forming achieves high hardness and strength.

Brass hexagon has very good machinability and can be easily soft- and hard-soldered. For welding 2.0401, resistance welding is best recommended. Other welding methods should be avoided. Brass 6-sided can be polished well mechanically and is very easy to galvanize.

Hexagon brass with the designation CuZn39Pb3 Ms58 is used widely in different fields. For example, this material is used to make:

• faucet handles;
• fittings;
• parts for electrical engineering;
• building profiles;
• various formed turning parts.

Material 2.0401 is characterized by the following features:

• very good machinability;
• good hot-formability;
• good for punching, polishing, and galvanizing;
• low corrosion resistance;
• suitable for automatic machine processing;
• good for soft and hard soldering.
