Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Round Tubes
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.
Tubes with 0.014" and 0.45 mm wall thicknesses allow you to create telescoping tubes; each tube fits inside the next larger size.

Machine Key Stock
Cut this square or rectangular key stock to length to create a straight machine key. Straight keys are the most common type of key. Machine keys are often the same material and as hard or harder than the shaft and other components with which they are used. To use a key as a sacrificial part, choose a softer key that will shear off when parts are exposed to excessive force, preventing damage to expensive equipment.
Brass key stock is corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic. Brass is softer than other metals, so it's often used for shear keys.
Slightly smaller than the size listed in the table, undersized stock is the choice when you need a slightly looser fit or when you have an inconsistent keyway. Use it when parts need to be taken apart frequently, such as for maintenance or prototyping.
Key stock that meets DIN 6880 conforms to DIN standards for undersized keys.

Electrical Discharge Machining Wire
Use in wire-cutting EDM machines.
Also known as spark machining, electrical discharge machining (EDM) uses electrical current to erode a metal workpiece to a desired shape.
Zinc-coated wire cuts faster than uncoated wire.
Hard wire works better than soft wire in EDM machines with automatic wire threading.
Soft wire stays straight as it comes of the spool, making it better than hard wire for EDM machines that do not have automatic wire threading.
