Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this brass stock sheet offers exceptional dimensional stability. The material's inherent self-lubricating properties, attributed to its specific alloy composition (typically a leaded brass for machinability and lubrication), minimize friction and wear in dynamic applications. With a thickness of 0.524 inches, a length of 46 inches, and a width of 31 inches, this sheet is suitable for fabricating robust, low-friction components such as bearings, bushings, and sliding mechanisms where consistent performance under load is paramount. Its excellent corrosion resistance further enhances its durability in various operational environments.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools which can lead to deformation or burrs on the brass.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped saws or abrasive cutoff wheels specifically designed for cutting brass to ensure clean, precise edges.
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or premature wear.Thoroughly degrease and clean both the brass surface and the mating surface before assembly to ensure optimal contact and function.

Common Applications

  • Manufacturing of bearings and bushings
  • Fabrication of wear plates and sliding components
  • Production of low-friction guide rails and tracks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and fabricating brass.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when machining or cutting brass to avoid inhalation of airborne particles.
