RS PRO 5 mm Diameter Metal Rod, 1 m L

The bar is made from T6 aluminium, a high-strength alloy that's also weldable and corrosion-resistant, so you can use it in a variety of applications. The rod has a thermal conductivity of 180 W/mK (Watts per meter-Kelvin), so it conducts heat readily. You can trust that it's durable, too, as it has a hardness of 95 HB (Brinell Hardness Number).

For safety, the bar complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standards, so it contains only minimal amounts of any harmful materials. You'll find metal rods like this used in milk churns, beer barrels and agricultural equipment.
