Precision Brand 17775 Shim Stock, Roll, Brass, 0.0090 In, 6 in

Description

Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped. Brass is an alloy of copper and varying levels of zinc, sometimes with additional elements. Copper, a term that applies to alloys containing at least 99.3% copper, offers very high thermal and electrical conductivity and provides corrosion resistance, formability, and machinability. The 260 brass alloy, also known as yellow brass and cartridge brass, is corrosion resistant and has high formability due to its zinc content. Brass is an alloy of copper and varying levels of zinc, sometimes with additional elements. Bronze is commonly an alloy of copper and tin, but sometimes it is copper alloyed with other elements such as aluminum, phosphorus, manganese, or silicon. The 260 brass alloy, also known as yellow brass and cartridge brass, is corrosion resistant and has high formability due to its zinc content. Tin gives bronze more corrosion resistance than brass and greater strength than copper. The 260 brass sheet with H02 temper is unpolished, meets American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM B19 and B36 specifications, and has a standard tolerance. Machinability describes how easily it can be cut, shaped, finished, or otherwise machined, while weldability characterizes the ability to be welded. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium.

Key Features

• Copper, brass, and bronze are known as red metals because they contain copper, which has a reddish color.
