RS PRO Brass Metal Rod 18 mm Diameter, 500 mm Length, High Hardness, CZ121/CW614N, 682-668

RS PRO 682-668 Brass Metal Rod features an 18 mm diameter and a 500 mm length, suitable for a range of demanding industrial, structural, and interior design applications. Constructed from high-grade brass alloy CZ121/CW614N, this rod offers superior machinability, heat, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for installations where durability is required.

The rod's hardness level, rated between 130 and 150 HV (Vickers), ensures excellent resistance to wear and mechanical stress. Precision manufacturing grants a strict ±2 mm tolerance on the rod length, supporting accurate placement in custom railing, masonry, and architectural projects where precise fit is crucial.

With its thermal conductivity value of 123 W/mK, this rod can be employed in applications involving heat dissipation or transfer, such as in connectors or mounting components exposed to temperature variation. The density of 8.47 g/cm³ also contributes to the rod's robustness, making it suitable for supporting structural loads and serving as an effective element in engineered assemblies.

RS PRO's brass rod complies with BS EN 12164 and BS 2874, ensuring material quality and meeting European alloy standards. Its RoHS compliance further confirms minimal presence of hazardous substances, making it suitable for sensitive construction and design environments.

Typical use cases include foot and hand rails, fittings, masonry structures, industrial components, and bespoke metalwork projects. Its combination of strength, reliability, and machinability makes it a trusted choice for manufacturing, construction, HVAC, laboratory fittings, and commercial design.
