Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this brass stock sheet measures 0.250 inches in thickness, 31 inches in length, and 20 inches in width. Composed of high-purity brass (typically alloy C26000 or equivalent), it exhibits excellent formability, solderability, and corrosion resistance. The material's inherent conductivity makes it suitable for electrical components, while its non-sparking properties are critical in hazardous environments. Ideal for custom metal fabrication, chassis construction, and specialized tooling.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication or cutting speed.Utilize carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools specifically designed for non-ferrous metals. Employ a cutting fluid or coolant to prevent excessive heat buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Aggressive bending or forming without annealing.For complex bends or forms, perform intermediate annealing steps to relieve work hardening and prevent cracking. Consult material datasheets for recommended annealing temperatures and times.

Common Applications

  • Custom electrical enclosures
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Decorative metalwork and signage
  • Specialty tooling and jigs
  • Marine hardware fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and fabricating brass.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when cutting or welding brass to avoid inhalation of fumes. Consult safety data sheets for specific handling precautions.
