Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this brass stock sheet exhibits a nominal thickness of 0.400 inches, a width of 37 inches, and a length of 12 inches. Composed of high-grade brass alloy (e.g., UNS C26000 cartridge brass or equivalent), it offers excellent machinability, weldability, and superior resistance to corrosion and tarnishing. The material's ductility and tensile strength make it suitable for fabricating custom material handling components, durable trays, brackets, and protective elements where a non-sparking, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting solution is required.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication or cooling.Employ specialized metal cutting blades and ensure adequate coolant or lubrication is used to prevent overheating and tool wear.
Not deburring edges after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file or deburring tool to remove sharp fragments and ensure safe handling and subsequent assembly.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of material handling trays and bins
  • Production of durable, non-sparking brackets and supports
  • Shielding and protective components in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and working with brass stock.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when cutting or machining brass to avoid inhalation of metal dust or fumes.
