Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this brass stock sheet is fabricated from high-grade brass (ASTM B16/B16M Alloy C36500 or equivalent) renowned for its excellent machinability, corrosion resistance to a wide range of hydraulic fluids, and inherent strength. With a precise thickness of 0.074 inches, a substantial length of 45 inches, and a generous width of 43 inches, this sheet provides ample material for custom fabrication of hydraulic manifold blocks, valve bodies, pump components, and specialized fittings. The material's inherent non-sparking properties also make it suitable for environments where ignition sources are a concern.

Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the sheet is clean and free from any contaminants before cutting or machining. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools designed for brass to achieve clean edges and precise dimensions. 3. For forming or bending, apply controlled pressure to avoid overworking the material and causing fractures, especially at sharp radii.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting tools, leading to tearing or chipping of the brass.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for brass or copper alloys to ensure a clean and precise cut.
Applying excessive force during bending, resulting in work hardening and potential cracking.Perform bending operations with gradual, controlled pressure and consider using appropriate dies or mandrels to support the material and achieve the desired radius without compromising its integrity.

Common Applications
