H62 Bare Brass Wire Brass Thin Wire Round Bar Diameter Φ0.3/ 0.5/0.8/1mm~Φ3mm

For wire-wrapping pendants and beads, 0.3–0.6 mm is the most common range — fine enough to wrap tightly around stones without cracking, yet stiff enough to hold a coil shape. For structural frame elements in jewelry (ear hooks, ring shanks), 0.8–1.2 mm gives more rigidity. If you are new to wire-wrapping, 0.5 mm is a practical starting point.

H62 brass has a typical tensile strength in the range of 300–420 MPa depending on temper and diameter, which is adequate for scale model frames, armatures, and support rods. For spans under load, use the largest diameter that fits your design. Diameters of 2 mm and above are noticeably stiffer and better suited to structural roles than the finer gauges.

H62 brass resists corrosion well in dry indoor environments. In humid or outdoor conditions, the surface will gradually develop a patina (oxidation layer) that shifts from bright gold toward a darker amber or brown tone. This does not affect structural integrity for most applications. If you need a stable appearance long-term, consider applying a clear lacquer after forming. For electrical contacts, keep connections clean and protected from moisture.

Yes. Because this wire is bare (uncoated), there is no lacquer or plating to strip before soldering. Apply a suitable flux for brass (rosin-based or acid flux depending on your application), heat the joint, and apply solder normally. Brass solders well with standard tin-lead or lead-free solders at typical iron temperatures (around 350–400 °C / 660–750 °F).

The 1 m option is ideal for sampling a diameter before committing, or for small one-off projects. The per-meter cost decreases at higher quantities (3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, 50 m), so if you know you will use a particular diameter regularly, ordering a longer length reduces your unit cost. Check the price per meter across tiers before selecting — the savings become significant at 10 m and above.

Bare brass wire is used in some RF ground-plane and antenna applications where a solderable, conductive, non-ferrous wire is needed. H62 brass is not as conductive as pure copper (roughly 26–28% IACS vs. copper's 100% IACS), so for applications where conductivity is the primary requirement, copper wire is the better choice. For mechanical antenna elements where conductivity is secondary to rigidity and corrosion resistance, brass is a practical option.

For diameters up to 1.5 mm, flush-cut wire cutters and round-nose or flat-nose pliers are sufficient for most craft and jewelry work. Diameters of 2–3 mm can be cut with heavy-duty wire cutters or a rotary tool with a cutting disc. For 4–5 mm rod, a hacksaw, angle grinder, or pipe cutter (for round stock) gives a cleaner cut. Bending 3–5 mm diameter requires a bench vise or a dedicated wire/rod bender to avoid kinking.
