ARK Stainless Inc. supplies top-quality Brass Bars & Rods, engineered for high performance in applications that demand excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. These bars are widely used in industries such as electrical, plumbing, marine, architecture, and decorative fittings.
We offer a wide variety of brass grades including C36000 (Free Cutting Brass), C26000 (Cartridge Brass), and C28000 (Muntz Metal). Brass bars are known for their superb resistance to tarnishing, ease of fabrication, and attractive gold-like appearance, making them suitable for both industrial and aesthetic purposes.
Manufactured in compliance with international standards such as ASTM B16 / ASTM B453 / ASTM B21, our brass bars are available in a range of diameters and shapes including round, square, hex, and flat bars. These bars are easy to machine and polish, making them ideal for precision components, valves, fasteners, electrical terminals, and architectural accents.
Every batch of brass bars is subjected to thorough quality control including chemical composition verification, dimensional inspection, mechanical testing, and PMI checks. We supply products with complete documentation including Mill Test Certificates (MTC), EN 10204 3.1 certifications, and third-party inspection reports as per client requirements.
