About Copper, Brass, and Bronze

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Sheets and Strips

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Brushed Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Sheets

One side of these sheets has a brushed finish with grain lines running in one direction to mask fingerprints.

Mirror-Like Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Sheets

Polished on one side to a reflective, mirror-like finish.

Ultra-Machinable 360 Brass Bars

With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

Formable Easy-to-Machine 353 Brass Sheets and Bars

353 brass is more formable than 385 brass while maintaining good machinability. Commonly called engraver’s brass, it’s well suited for fabrication processes such as knurling and threading. Use it to make nuts, gears, drawer pulls, and hinges.

Brushed Weldable Marine-Grade 464 Brass Sheets

One side of these sheets has a brushed finish with grain lines running in one direction to mask fingerprints.

Mirror-Like Weldable Marine-Grade 464 Brass Sheets

Polished on one side to a reflective, mirror-like finish.

Weldable Marine-Grade 464 Brass Sheets and Bars

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

Easy-to-Machine Architectural 385 Brass Bars

Often called architectural bronze, 385 brass is easy to machine and has excellent formability when heated. It is typically used for handrails, ornamental trim, and hardware, such as hinges and lock bodies.

Fasteners

Shim Stock

Cut this stock into custom shapes to fit your application.

Shim Stock Sets

Keep shim stock in a variety of thicknesses on hand with these sets. Cut into custom shapes to fit your application.

Adhesive-Back Shim Stock

A durable acrylic adhesive keeps this shim stock from sliding out of place. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application.

Peel-Away Layered Shim Stock

Cut this shim stock into custom shapes to fit your application. Stock is made of layers of material bonded with adhesive; remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need.

Shim Stock Assortments

Create a custom shim to fit your application.

Cloth, Mesh, Wool and Perforated Sheets

Brass Perforated Sheets

Brass is softer and easier to form compared to other metals.

Brass Wire Cloth with Rectangular Openings

Maximize flow when straining your liquid process lines—material passes more quickly through this wire cloth's rectangular openings than through other wire cloth.

Brass Wire Cloth

More corrosion-resistant in salt water than stainless steel, these brass wire cloths are often used in marine environments.
