Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this brass stock sheet measures 0.887 inches in thickness, 18 inches in length, and 45 inches in width. Composed of a high-quality brass alloy, it exhibits excellent inherent lubricity, a low coefficient of friction, and good machinability. These properties make it ideal for fabricating components that require self-lubricating characteristics, such as bearings, bushings, and slide mechanisms, minimizing the need for external lubricants and extending component lifespan in heavy-duty machinery and precision equipment.
