1″ x 1″ C360 Brass Square Bar 5″ Long Solid Flat Mill Stock by VERNUOS

Description

Product Overview

The VERNUOS 1″ x 1″ C360 Brass Square Bar is engineered as a premium raw material for precision metalworking. Measuring exactly five inches in length, one inch in width, and one inch in height, this solid flat mill stock weighs approximately 1.5 pounds, offering a balanced heft that aids in stable machining operations. Crafted from C360 brass, the bar exhibits superior corrosion resistance, excellent thermal conductivity, and a smooth surface finish that reduces tool wear and enhances finish quality. Its uniform cross‑section and tight dimensional tolerances make it an ideal candidate for CNC milling, manual lathe turning, and hand‑tool shaping. The bar arrives in a single‑piece package, ensuring that each customer receives an untouched, unblemished component ready for immediate use in a wide range of applications.

Usage

Designed with versatility in mind, this brass square bar serves as a foundational element for a multitude of projects. Hobbyists engaged in DIY metal crafts will find the material easy to cut, file, and polish, allowing for the creation of decorative hardware, custom jewelry components, and artistic sculptures. In professional settings, the bar’s machinability supports high‑precision milling where tight tolerances are required, such as in the production of prototype parts, custom engraved plates, and small‑batch manufacturing runs. Its excellent feed characteristics also make it suitable for lathe turning, enabling the production of shafts, bushings, and ornamental spindles. Knife makers appreciate the material for its ability to hold a sharp edge while providing a striking aesthetic, and the bar can be readily annealed or heat‑treated to achieve specific hardness levels. Additionally, the bar’s stability under temperature fluctuations makes it a reliable choice for applications involving thermal cycling, such as in electronic housings or heat‑sink components.

FAQ

What is the difference between C360 brass and other brass alloys?

C360 brass is a free‑cutting alloy that contains a higher lead content, which improves its machinability and reduces tool wear compared to standard brass grades. This makes it especially suitable for intricate machining and rapid prototyping.

Can this bar be heat‑treated to increase hardness?

Yes, the bar can be annealed or heat‑treated. Annealing will soften the material for easier shaping, while specific heat‑treatment processes can increase hardness for applications that require greater wear resistance.

Is the bar suitable for electrical applications?

While brass is conductive, C360 brass is primarily chosen for its machining properties rather than electrical performance. It can be used in low‑current applications, but for high‑current requirements, a copper alloy with higher conductivity is recommended.

How should I store the brass bar to maintain its quality?

Store the bar in a dry environment, preferably in a sealed container or wrapped in anti‑static packaging. This prevents oxidation and maintains the surface finish, ensuring the material remains ready for immediate use.

What tools are recommended for cutting this brass bar?

Standard high‑speed steel (HSS) end mills, carbide cutters, and fine‑toothed hacksaws work well. For the best surface finish, use cutting fluids designed for brass to reduce friction and heat buildup.
