Premium Brass Sheet Metal: Versatile, Beautiful & Durable
Discover the timeless elegance and unparalleled versatility of our high-quality brass sheet metal. An alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, brass is celebrated for its distinctive golden luster, excellent workability, and robust performance across a multitude of applications. Whether you're an artisan, an engineer, an architect, or a hobbyist, our brass sheet metal provides the perfect blend of aesthetic appeal and functional strength for your next project.
✨ Key Features & Benefits:
- Distinctive Golden Luster: Offers a warm, elegant, and classic aesthetic that enhances any design. It can be polished to a mirror finish or brushed for a satin look.
- Excellent Workability: Highly malleable and ductile, brass sheet metal is easy to cut, form, bend, stamp, machine, and engrave. Ideal for intricate designs and various fabrication processes.
- Corrosion Resistance: Offers good resistance to corrosion, especially against saltwater, making it suitable for marine and outdoor applications.
- Good Electrical & Thermal Conductivity: While not as conductive as pure copper, brass still provides good electrical and thermal properties, making it useful for certain electrical components and heat exchangers.
- Non-Magnetic Properties: Essential for applications where magnetic interference must be avoided.
- Recyclable & Sustainable: Brass is a highly recyclable material, contributing to environmentally responsible practices.
- Antimicrobial Properties: Due to its copper content, brass possesses inherent antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for touch surfaces.
🛠️ Common Applications:
Our brass sheet metal is a preferred material for a diverse range of industries and creative pursuits:
- Architectural & Interior Design: Decorative trim, wall panels, kick plates, countertops, railing components, lighting fixtures, hardware.
- Art & Craft Projects: Jewelry making, sculpture, etching, stamping, metal embossing, decorative ornaments.
- Musical Instruments: Components for brass instruments (e.g., trumpets, trombones, saxophones), cymbals.
- Electrical & Electronic Components: Connectors, terminals, switchgear, wave guides, lamp bases.
- Hardware & Fasteners: Hinges, locks, decorative handles, screws, and other precision-machined parts.

🔬 Material Specifications:
- Alloy Composition: Typically an alloy of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn). Common grades include:
- C260 (Cartridge Brass): Approximately 70% Copper, 30% Zinc. Known for its excellent cold working properties and ductility.
- C272 (Yellow Brass): Approximately 65% Copper, 35% Zinc. A versatile and widely used brass.
- Other alloys available upon request.
- Finish: Standard Mill Finish (as rolled/sheared). Options for polished or brushed finishes may be available.
- Temper / Hardness:
- Soft (Annealed): Highly ductile, ideal for forming, deep drawing, and intricate bending.
- Half-Hard: Offers a good balance of formability and strength.
- Hard / Spring: Provides maximum rigidity and spring characteristics for applications requiring higher strength.
- Thickness (Gauge): Available in a wide range of thicknesses, from thin foil gauges (e.g., 0.005") up to thick plate gauges (e.g., 0.250" or more). Common gauges include: 10GA, 12GA, 14GA, 16GA, 18GA, 20GA, 22GA, 24GA, 26GA, 28GA.
- Typical Standards: Conforms to ASTM B36 for plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar brass.
