Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this brass stock sheet (0.020" thickness, 16" width, 30" length) is manufactured from high-grade brass alloy known for its inherent lubricity and excellent machinability. The material's low coefficient of friction minimizes wear in sliding applications, while its good thermal conductivity aids in dissipating heat. This makes it a critical component in bushings, bearings, wear pads, and other critical friction-management systems where reliability and longevity are paramount.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong cutting tool, leading to burrs or deformation.Employ a sharp, high-speed cutting tool designed for brass to achieve clean cuts and prevent material damage.
Improper surface preparation of the mating component.Thoroughly clean and degrease both the brass sheet and the substrate to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bushings
  • Wear plates and strips
  • Bearing surfaces
  • Gears and sprockets in low-load applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments which may degrade brass.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or grinding brass to avoid inhalation of dust.
