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

Description

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. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped. 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. Brass is an alloy of copper and varying levels of zinc, sometimes with additional elements. Hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. 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. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Copper, brass, and bronze are known as red metals because they contain copper, which has a reddish color. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. 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.
