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

Description

Hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. The 260 brass alloy, also known as yellow brass and cartridge brass, is corrosion resistant and has high formability due to its zinc content. 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. Machinability describes how easily it can be cut, shaped, finished, or otherwise machined, while weldability characterizes the ability to be welded. It provides greater strength and better machinability than copper or bronze. Brass is an alloy of copper and varying levels of zinc, sometimes with additional elements. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. 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 material has an H02 temper, meaning it has been cold worked to a 1/2 hard temper. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped. 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.

Key Features

• Copper, brass, and bronze are known as red metals because they contain copper, which has a reddish color.
• 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.
• 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.
• It provides greater strength and better machinability than copper or bronze.
