Detailed Engineering Specifications

Designed for demanding industrial environments, this brass stock sheet offers exceptional tribological performance. With a nominal thickness of 0.860 inches, a length of 46 inches, and a width of 36 inches, it provides ample material for custom fabrication of wear components. The brass alloy exhibits excellent self-lubricating characteristics, minimizing friction and wear in sliding and rotating assemblies. Its robust mechanical properties ensure resistance to deformation under load, making it ideal for applications such as bearings, bushings, wear plates, and sliding surfaces in pumps, gears, and heavy equipment where consistent lubrication is critical for operational efficiency and longevity.
