Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this brass stock sheet meets rigorous industrial standards for hydraulic component fabrication. Measuring 0.823 inches in thickness, 38 inches in length, and 14 inches in width, it is crafted from a high-tensile brass alloy known for its excellent machinability, inherent corrosion resistance to hydraulic fluids and environmental factors, and good thermal conductivity. These attributes make it an ideal material for producing valve bodies, fittings, manifolds, and other critical hydraulic system elements where leak-free operation and extended service life are paramount. The material's consistent grain structure ensures predictable behavior during manufacturing processes, leading to higher yields and reduced scrap.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for brass, leading to poor edge quality and potential material stress.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized laser cutting parameters optimized for brass to achieve clean, precise cuts and minimize material deformation.
Inadequate deburring of cut edges, which can lead to fluid contamination or premature seal failure in hydraulic systems.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files, deburring tools, or tumbling processes to ensure smooth, contamination-free surfaces.

Common Applications
