What is an H62 Copper Metal Rod?

H62 brass bar and copper plate has good electrical and thermal conductivity. Its electrical conductivity is second only to silver, copper and other metals, and can be used to make wires, cables and other electrical components. Meanwhile, its thermal conductivity makes it play an important role in heat exchangers, radiators and other equipment. In addition, H62 brass is more stable in the atmosphere, fresh water and other environments, not easy to rust, but easy to produce corrosion rupture.

H62 brass rods are easy to cut processing and cold and hot pressure processing. Through turning, milling, planing and other processing methods, parts of various shapes and sizes can be produced. Its weldability is good, and it can be connected by a variety of welding methods. At the same time, H62 brass also has good surface treatment performance, can be plated, sprayed and other treatments to meet different appearance requirements.

FAQ

What is H62 copper metal?
A: H62 is a copper-zinc alloy (brass) containing 60.5-63.5% copper and approximately 37% zinc. It is one of the most widely used brass alloys, offering an excellent combination of strength, machinability, corrosion resistance, and attractive gold color.

 

Is H62 considered brass or copper?
A: Technically, H62 is brass (a copper alloy), not pure copper. However, it is commonly referred to as "copper metal rod" in trade contexts due to its high copper content (62%) and copper-like appearance. The correct metallurgical term is 62/40 brass or cartridge brass.

 

What is the machinability rating of H62 brass?
A: H62 has an excellent machinability rating of approximately 80-90% (compared to free-machining brass C36000 at 100%). It produces well-broken chips, allows high cutting speeds, and provides excellent surface finish.

 

Is H62 suitable for potable water applications?
A: Standard H62 contains ≤0.08% lead, which may not comply with strict potable water regulations in some regions (NSF/ANSI 61, RoHS). We offer low-lead (≤0.03%) and lead-free (≤0.01%) versions for drinking water applications.
