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

Description

Copper and its alloys have temper designations, meaning the material has undergone a process to achieve certain properties of strength and hardness.Tensile strength, used to indicate the material's overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before. It provides greater strength and better machinability than copper or bronze. The material has an H02 temper, meaning it has been cold worked to a 1/2 hard temper. Machinability describes how easily it can be cut, shaped, finished, or otherwise machined, while weldability characterizes the ability to be welded. 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. 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. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. 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. Brass is an alloy of copper and varying levels of zinc, sometimes with additional elements.

Key Features

• 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.
• Brass is an alloy of copper and varying levels of zinc, sometimes with additional elements.
• The 260 brass alloy, also known as yellow brass and cartridge brass, is corrosion resistant and has high formability due to its zinc content.
• Copper, brass, and bronze are known as red metals because they contain copper, which has a reddish color.
• 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.
