Strategically operating from the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals stands as a cornerstone of reliability for Ethiopia’s industrial sector. We specialize in providing robust materials that power local progress, with our High Tensile Brass Rods being a prime example of this commitment. We understand that the backbone of any great project is superior raw materials, which is why we focus on delivering consistent quality and dependable support to workshops and factories across the nation, helping to turn ambitious blueprints into solid reality.
The unique composition of these rods is what sets them apart, primarily a carefully balanced blend of copper and zinc with strategic additions of elements like aluminum and iron. This specific recipe grants the material its standout mechanical properties, resulting in a product that boasts an exceptional combination of high strength and impressive resistance to wear and corrosion. It’s this inherent toughness that allows it to withstand significant stress and harsh operating conditions, making it a far more durable option than standard brass alloys.

Yes, high tensile brass rods can be welded, but the process requires specific techniques. Methods like brazing or TIG welding are commonly used, with proper precautions to prevent zinc loss and cracking.
Yes, high tensile brass rods are highly suitable for machining. Their excellent machinability, durability, and resistance to wear make them ideal for precision components in industries like automotive, electrical, and plumbing.
High tensile brass rods offer excellent strength and moderate flexibility, making them bendable under controlled conditions. However, excessive force or improper techniques may cause cracking, so precision and care are essential.
This remarkable strength and durability make High Tensile Brass Rods incredibly versatile. You’ll find them as the core component in heavy-duty applications like marine hardware, where they resist saltwater corrosion, and in the powerful gears and heavy-duty bearings of industrial machinery. They are also the preferred choice for crafting strong, corrosion-resistant pump shafts, valve stems, and architectural fittings that must endure daily wear and tear. Essentially, wherever a component needs to be both incredibly strong and long-lasting, these rods provide the reliable foundation.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
