C33000 Low Leaded Brass Rods , a yellow brass that is both formable and machinable. C330 is only produced in tube form and is generally suitable for minimal corrosive conditions. The lead content prevents from successful welding, but common machine processes include machining, forming, piercing, and punching.

These hollow rods are mainly used in manufacturing high speed machining components with a large hole in it, which consumes large production time in making center hole and turning operations.

Industry using free cutting hollow rods are Precision Components, hardware, cable glands, automobile components and electronic parts.
