Not sure of the alloy percentages, but the brass is strong and stays straight. Got it for knife scale pins and tool making.

This 1/2 brass rod arrived in a sturdy plastic sheath. It was very straight, had a highly polished finish and was accurate throughout its length. It measured from .4992 to .4995 at multiple positions. I would classify this stock as very high quality and recommend it for purchase at its current price. Note, the title in this review indicates 3/8 but the tested produce was actually 1/2 diameter rod.

It is brass rods

Got this for an upcoming project. The brass is bright and straight. I measured and it is exactly 3/8 of an inch wide and 12 inched long. No significant machining marks will make finishing easier. The cuts on the ends are vert fine grained and need nothing prior to working. Great raw material.

Very high-quality brass stock. Micrometer shows .499-.500 diameter, and consistent for the entire length. This material can be used for turning drifts and punches. Comes in a protective plastic tube, polished, with a fine finish. This would make good stock for turning bushings of less than 1/2. If you make things with metal, this is a very good piece of stock for your bench. Good price, also.

These are definitely a brass rods. They can be used for all kinds of crafts and maker things. I have used these to make press fit brass pins, to hold other things together. They are dimensionally accurate, so you wont have unexpected slippage.

I plan to use these rods to build structures on my model railroad layout. They are exactly the size thats advertised, so no matter what you intend to use them for, rest assured that theyll work as you need. Their finish is very attractive. Im satisfied with them and think you will be, too.

BOTTOM LINE: 1. I recommend this brass rods. 2. The current price of ~$8 is reasonable. LIKES: - High quality brass (copper and zinc alloy). - No defects (perfectly straight and sized). DISLIKES: - None at this time. UPDATES: None at this time. I will update this review with any changes or important additions should any arise.

I got this to use it as a brass drift for driving bearing races out of wheel hubs. I know that the ends will mushroom eventually and the business end will deform, but this will be easy to reshape as needed. I did a number of hammer strikes via the drift to the anvil on my vice. Even with solid strong hits, the ends did not deform. Seems to be a strong, not mushy brass. Even though this is a bit off label, it works well for my needs.

I got this for hobby, mostly making metallic decorative dowels. The rod came in a plastic sleeve, it was straight and shiny. Good deal.
