Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.457" thick brass stock sheet measures 15" in length and 21" in width. Composed of a high-copper alloy (typically 60-70% copper), it exhibits excellent machinability, good electrical conductivity, and non-sparking properties, crucial for hazardous environments. Its inherent antimicrobial characteristics also contribute to safety in specific settings. This material is ideal for fabricating robust safety guards, explosion-proof enclosures, and specialized signage where flame resistance and durability are paramount.
