Why Choose Brass for Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Brass offers a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for both functional and decorative applications

Aesthetic Appeal

Beautiful golden appearance that develops an attractive patina over time. Ideal for decorative applications, architectural elements, and consumer products requiring visual appeal.

Corrosion Resistance

Excellent resistance to corrosion and tarnishing in various environments. Superior performance in marine applications, plumbing systems, and outdoor installations exposed to moisture.

Excellent Machinability

Superior machinability allows for intricate designs and tight tolerances. Easy to cut, form, and finish, resulting in faster production times and reduced manufacturing costs.

Good Conductivity

Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity makes brass suitable for electrical components, connectors, terminals, and heat exchange applications requiring efficient energy transfer.

Non-Magnetic

Non-ferromagnetic properties make brass ideal for applications requiring non-magnetic materials, such as electronic enclosures, navigational equipment, and precision instruments.

Low Friction

Low friction coefficient reduces wear in moving parts. Perfect for bearings, bushings, gears, and valve components requiring smooth operation and extended service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What brass alloys are best for sheet metal fabrication?

C26000 (Cartridge Brass) is most common for deep drawing and forming. C27000 (Yellow Brass) offers excellent machinability and finish quality. C28000 (Muntz Metal) provides higher strength for structural applications. Choice depends on specific requirements for formability, strength, and appearance.

Does brass tarnish and how can it be prevented?

Brass naturally develops a patina (tarnish) over time when exposed to air and moisture. This can be prevented or delayed through clear lacquer coating, which seals the surface. Some applications embrace the patina for its antique appearance, while others require regular polishing or protective coatings.

What thicknesses of brass sheet can you fabricate?

We work with brass sheet thicknesses from 0.5mm to 6mm (0.020″ to 0.250″). Our laser cutting equipment handles various gauges, while press brake capacity accommodates thicker materials for bending operations. Specific capabilities depend on part geometry and forming requirements.

Can brass be welded or joined to other metals?

Yes, brass can be welded using TIG welding with proper filler material and technique. Brazing is often preferred for joining brass to brass or brass to steel. For dissimilar metal joints, mechanical fastening or adhesive bonding may be more suitable depending on application requirements and galvanic compatibility.

What finishing options are available for brass parts?

We offer polishing (mirror or satin finish), brushing for uniform grain direction, clear lacquer coating to prevent tarnishing, antiquing for aged appearance, and chemical patina treatments. Decorative plating (chrome, nickel) is also available. Finish selection depends on aesthetic goals and environmental exposure.

Is brass suitable for outdoor applications?

Yes, brass performs well outdoors due to excellent corrosion resistance. It naturally develops a protective patina that shields underlying material from further corrosion. For marine environments or high-humidity locations, higher-copper alloys like C23000 (Red Brass) offer superior corrosion resistance. Protective coatings extend service life in harsh conditions.
