Brass Rod

Round rod in CW614N (CuZn39Pb3, Ms58) free-machining brass. It is the easiest brass to machine and the main material for turned and CNC-machined parts. We cut it to the length you need.

Grade and sizes

CuZn39Pb3 · CW614N

MS58

A free-machining brass containing about 58 % copper, 39 % zinc and 3 % lead. The lead makes the chips short and brittle, so the alloy machines cleanly at high cutting speeds with a good surface finish. It is well suited to hot forging, while its cold formability is limited. It is one of the most widely used brasses for turned and CNC-machined parts, fasteners, fittings and valve components.

Frequently asked questions

Why is CW614N (Ms58) the most widely used brass?

The lead it contains acts as a chip breaker, giving longer tool life, a clean surface finish and high machining speeds. That is why it is the standard brass for turned and CNC-machined parts. Where bending or deep drawing is required, CW508L (Ms63) or CW505L (Ms70) sheet is preferred.

Do you cut short lengths?

Yes, we cut to the length you require; there is no minimum cut length. Rods of Ø15 mm and below are normally supplied in full lengths (3000–3200 mm); if you need a different length, you can mention it in your request.

What are the designations for MS58?

MS58: CuZn39Pb3, EN CW614N, DIN 2.0401, UNS C38500, BS CZ121. Any of these designations can be used in your enquiry; we will match the correct material.

Why can the invoiced weight differ from the calculated weight?

The calculator gives the theoretical weight. The actual weight varies with dimensional tolerances and cutting allowance; we invoice on the actual weight as weighed.

What information should I send for a quote?

We only need the size (diameter × length), quantity and delivery location. If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
