Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this brass stock sheet is manufactured to precise tolerances. Its 0.332" (approx. 8.43 mm) thickness ensures structural integrity for demanding applications. Composed of a standard brass alloy (e.g., UNS C26000 cartridge brass, offering excellent workability and machinability), it exhibits a tensile strength of approximately 50-60 ksi and a yield strength of 15-20 ksi, making it suitable for stamping, bending, and machining processes. The 24" x 18" dimensions provide ample material for efficient layout and cutting in manufacturing environments.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to premature wear and poor cut quality.Employ carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools specifically recommended for brass to ensure clean cuts and tool longevity.
Overheating the brass during welding or soldering, which can cause annealing and loss of temper.Maintain appropriate heat input and utilize suitable flux for brass to prevent overheating and unintended material property changes.

Common Applications

  • Electrical connectors and components
  • Decorative and architectural elements
  • Stamped and formed parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Brass can tarnish over time; consider protective coatings if aesthetic appearance is critical long-term.
