Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.724-inch thick brass stock sheet offers precise dimensions of 20 inches in width and 48 inches in length. Composed of a high-grade brass alloy (e.g., C26000 cartridge brass, known for its excellent formability and moderate strength), it exhibits superior corrosion resistance and a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. This material is ideal for applications requiring intricate machining, stamping, or bending where dimensional accuracy and material integrity are paramount. Its thermal conductivity also makes it suitable for heat exchanger components.
