Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this brass stock sheet features a precise thickness of 0.452 inches, a length of 17 inches, and a width of 18 inches. Composed of a specific brass alloy optimized for self-lubricating properties, it exhibits excellent wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, and superior machinability. This makes it ideal for components in sliding mechanisms, bearings, bushings, and anti-friction surfaces where reduced lubrication and extended service life are critical design parameters.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient lubrication during machining, which can lead to tool wear and poor surface finish.Employ appropriate cutting fluids and cooling systems during all machining operations to maintain optimal temperatures and chip evacuation.
Over-tightening fasteners when securing the brass component, potentially causing deformation or stress concentrations.Apply specified torque values during fastener installation to prevent damage and ensure proper load distribution.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearings and bushings
  • Sliding wear components
  • Gears and sprockets in lubricated environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • While self-lubricating, additional lubrication may be required for extreme load or high-speed applications to maximize component lifespan.
  • Avoid exposure to highly corrosive environments that could degrade the brass alloy over time.
