Brass Sheet
Brass is a copper-zinc alloy with useful strength, corrosion resistance, formability and cosmetic appeal. It is suitable for precision stamping, bending and assembled sheet metal parts. Polishing or nickel, chromium or gold plating can enhance appearance and surface performance. Its higher cost than carbon steel is often justified where electrical function, corrosion resistance and appearance must be combined.
Typical Applications
Precision electronic contacts and connectors, decorative panels and nameplates, instrument structures, terminals, clips and small sheet metal parts with demanding dimensional or cosmetic requirements.
Reference Properties & Manufacturing Parameters
Reference values are indicative and are not guaranteed specifications. Material grade, stock condition, processing, test method and part geometry can change the result. A listed temperature is not a continuous-use rating.
| Dimensional tolerance | ±0.2 mm |
|---|---|
| Minimum wall thickness | 0.5 mm |
| Reference temperature range | ≤300 °C |
| Reference tensile strength | 300–500 MPa |
| Reference density | 8.4–8.7 g/cm³ |
- Reference values vary with grade, material condition, part geometry and manufacturing process. Confirm final specifications during drawing review.
- Temperature figures are source reference values; the test method, loading and exposure duration are not specified and must be confirmed for the application.
Finishing Options
Confirm compatibility with the exact material grade and application. Define cosmetic surfaces, coating thickness, masking and any dimensional or performance requirements before manufacture.
Design & Manufacturing Review
- Specify sheet grade, thickness, finish and rolling direction where relevant. Confirm the selected stock before finalizing bend geometry.
- Review bend radii, bend reliefs, hole-to-bend distances and fastener access. Flat patterns must account for the actual forming process.
- Define weld locations, cosmetic surfaces and any coating or masking requirements.
