Brass — Sheet Metal Materials

Brass is a golden, corrosion-resistant metal. We cut, bend, and form it into decorative and functional parts with sheet metal fabrication.

Overview

What Is Brass Sheet Metal?

Brass is a golden, corrosion-resistant metal. We cut, bend, and form it into decorative and functional parts with sheet metal fabrication.

Material: Brass

Brass is a copper-zinc metal with a gold-like look. In sheet form it forms well and resists tarnish.

Process: Sheet Metal Fabrication

We cut, bend, and join flat metal sheets into strong, light parts.

Result: Formed Metal Parts

Brackets, enclosures, and panels made to your spec, in low or high volume.

Why Brass

Why Choose Brass for Sheet Metal

Beautiful Finish

A natural gold tone that needs little decoration.

Corrosion Resistant

Stays bright indoors and resists many chemicals.

Easy to Form

Bends and deep-draws well for complex shapes.

Conductive

Carries electricity, useful for terminals.

Material Options

Brass Grades & Options

We stock common grades. Tell us your need and we will pick the right one.

C260 (Cartridge)

Ductile and bright. Great for bending and forming.

C272 (Muntz)

Lower cost for plates and general work.

C268 (Common Brass)

A balanced, easy-to-form grade.

From your file to a finished part in five clear steps. Start with a free quote.

Send Files & Get a Quote

Upload your drawings or STEP file. Get a quote with free DFM feedback, usually within 24 hours.

Design Review (DFM)

Our engineers check bend radius, flanges, and holes. We suggest changes that cut cost.

Cutting

We laser cut or punch the flat sheet to the exact shape you need.

Bending & Forming

We bend and form the parts on press brakes into the final shape.

Finish & Ship

We weld, finish, and inspect each part, then pack and ship worldwide.

Applications

Where Brass Is Used

Decorative Panels

Trim, nameplates, and architectural accents.

Terminals & Contacts

Conductive sheet parts for electrical use.

Gaskets & Shims

Thin, precise spacers and seals.

Ornaments

Awards, instruments, and craft items.

Design Tips

Easy Design Tips for Beginners

New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.

Mind the Bend Radius

Keep the inner bend radius at least equal to the material thickness to avoid cracks.

Leave Room for Flanges

Add enough straight length beside bends so the press brake can grip the part.

Size Your Holes

Holes should be at least equal to the thickness from an edge and sized for clean punching.

Finishes

Surface Finishes for Brass Parts

Anodizing

A hard, colored coating that protects aluminum and looks clean.

Powder Coating

A durable painted layer in many colors for indoor or outdoor use.

Brushed & Bead Blast

A uniform matte texture that hides scratches.

Painting

A custom liquid paint finish for branding or matching.

FAQ

Brass — Frequently Asked Questions

Brass is a copper-zinc metal with a gold-like look. In sheet form it forms well and resists tarnish.
Sheet metal fabrication cuts, bends, and joins flat metal sheets into strong, light parts like brackets, enclosures, and panels.
Brass sheet is a copper-zinc alloy. It forms well, resists corrosion, and has a premium gold look.
Brass sheet reaches about 300–400 MPa tensile strength. That is strong enough for functional parts.
Send us your files. Most quotes return within a few hours on workdays. We never take more than 24 hours.
There is no strict minimum. We make a single prototype or a full production run.
Yes. We treat all files and ideas as confidential. We sign NDAs when you need them.
Yes. Our engineers review your design and suggest changes that cut cost, improve quality, or speed up delivery.
Polishing, plating, lacquer, and brushed finishes.
Yes — we hold tolerances around ±0.1 mm on formed parts, and tighter on CNC-cut or punched features.
Yes. We can make samples for your approval. The sample cost is credited back on a production order.
