Tariku Metals is the trusted manufacturer and supplier from the Ethiopia, located at Addis Ababa with high-quality products in metal items. specializes in offering a variety of metals, such as rivet brass rods. Their rivet brass rods consist of 60-63% copper and 37-40% zinc, which endow them with optimum strength, machinability, and a great degree of resistance to corrosion. The various rods come in different forms for rivets, fasteners, electrical connectors, and even for decorative pieces. Tariku Metals strives for accuracy and reliability and supports the automotive, construction, electrical, and marine industries by delivering standard as well as customized parts.
Rivet brass rods contain about 60-63% of Copper and 37-40% of Zinc, along with trace Lead for improved machinability (Pb: 0.5-1.0%). It offers good mechanical strength with tensile strength between 360-540 MPa, yield strength at 100-350 MPa, and varies according to the temper and process. Elongation is about 20-45%, meaning that they are ductile and can easily be formed. The material possesses a hardness value of 80-150 HV and has very good resistance towards corrosion and wear. Rivet brass rods offer high electrical and thermal conductivity value of 120 W/m·K and therefore are best used in mechanical as well as electrical applications where good durability and machinability is required.

Rivet brass rods can be welded, but it requires specialized techniques like brazing or TIG welding due to brass's high zinc content, which can cause fumes and weaken weld quality.
To maintain the quality of rivet brass rods, store them in a dry, cool environment away from moisture, humidity, and corrosive substances. Use protective covers to prevent scratches and oxidation.
Yes, rivet brass rods can be easily bent or shaped due to their excellent malleability and ductility, especially when heated. However, proper tools and techniques are essential to avoid cracking.
Rivet brass rods are versatile and widely used in different industries because of their excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. They are mainly used in the manufacture of rivets, fasteners, and precision components, providing durability and reliability. These rods are common in the automotive, electrical, and construction sectors for joining and securing metal parts. They find further applications in decorative items, plumbing fixtures, marine hardware due to their attractive finish and wear, weathering resistance. Rivet brass rods are also valued for their manufacturing of electrical connectors, terminals, other components, which require high conductivity and mechanical performance.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
