Copper-Zinc Alloy
Brass
Brass is a versatile copper-zinc alloy prized for its machinability, corrosion resistance, and attractive finish. We stock brass sheet and shim in hard, half-hard, and soft tempers, along with brass mesh and engravers brass, for gaskets, shims, electrical components, and decorative applications.

- General industrial gaskets requiring corrosion resistance
Available Grades
Brass Sheet — Hard Temper (0.3–3 mm)
Full-hard brass sheet with high tensile strength and spring-like properties. We stock this for applications requiring dimensional stability and resistance to deformation.
Brass Sheet (Half-Hard Temper)
Intermediate temper brass offering a balance of formability and strength. Suitable for gaskets that require moderate forming without cracking.
Brass Sheet, Soft Temper
Fully annealed brass with maximum ductility for deep drawing, tight bending, and conformable gasket applications.
Brass Shim (0.05–0.5 mm)
Precision-rolled thin-gauge brass for shimming, spacing, and tolerance adjustment in mechanical assemblies and instrument calibration.
Brass Mesh (Various Counts)
Woven brass wire mesh in a range of mesh counts for filtration, screening, and EMI shielding applications.
Engravers Brass
High-quality brass sheet with fine surface finish specifically suited for engraving, nameplates, and signage applications.
