From the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals has built a strong reputation as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of premium industrial materials. Our focus is on delivering exceptional quality and reliability, with our Free Cutting Brass Rod standing as a testament to this commitment. We understand that your projects demand precision and efficiency, which is why we ensure our products meet the highest standards, supporting Ethiopia’s growing manufacturing sector with dependable, locally-sourced solutions you can count on for every job.
Our Free Cutting Brass Rod is specially formulated for superior machining. The composition, primarily a blend of copper and zinc with a small addition of lead, is what gives this material its remarkable free-cutting characteristic. This specific makeup allows for high-speed machining, producing small, broken chips that easily clear away. The result is an excellent surface finish, reduced tool wear, and a rod that offers great strength and corrosion resistance, making it a durable and efficient choice for high-volume production.
