The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When your project demands a material that machines cleanly, solders reliably, and holds tight tolerances, finding the right brass flat stock in the exact size you need can be a real challenge. Whether you are a hobbyist machinist, a jewellery maker, or a workshop professional, these brass sheet plates are sized and ready to use straight out of the pack — no cutting waste, no minimum order headaches.
Each piece is a solid brass flat plate available in thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 6 mm (approximately 0.012 in to 0.236 in) and sheet dimensions ranging from 50 × 50 mm up to 300 × 300 mm (roughly 2 × 2 in to 11.8 × 11.8 in). The alloy is a standard copper-zinc brass composition, offering a warm golden finish with good machinability and moderate corrosion resistance. Pack sizes of 1, 2, or 4 pieces are available depending on the variant selected.
Typical use cases include fabricating custom shim stock and spacers for mechanical assemblies, cutting engraving blanks for name plates and signage, crafting decorative inlays and jewellery components, and building electrical contact strips or heat-sink backing plates in electronics projects.
Thickness from 0.3 mm to 6 mm; sheet area from 50 × 50 mm to 300 × 300 mm — covering the most common DIY and workshop dimensions in a single listing.
Copper-zinc brass composition delivers a warm golden colour, good machinability, and reliable soft-solder adhesion for electronics and plumbing repairs.
Brass naturally resists oxidation in typical indoor and light outdoor environments, keeping the surface clean and workable over time.
Each plate arrives flat and square, ready for immediate cutting, drilling, engraving, or forming — no additional surface prep required for most applications.
Choose 1, 2, or 4 pieces per order depending on your project needs, so you only pay for what you actually use.
Works with hand tools, bench shears, laser cutters, CNC routers, and standard metalworking machinery — suitable for shims, engraving blanks, jewellery, and electrical contacts.

For shims, gaskets, and thin decorative inlays, 0.3 mm – 0.8 mm is typically sufficient. For structural brackets, engraving blanks, and contact plates that need to hold shape under load, 1 mm – 3 mm is a common choice. Thicker options (4 mm – 6 mm) suit heavy-duty spacers, bearing plates, and machined components. If you are unsure, select the variant options above to compare dimensions and prices.
Brass flat stock has moderate tensile strength — typically in the range of 300–500 MPa depending on alloy grade and temper. It is well suited for light structural applications such as brackets, spacers, and mounting plates. For heavy structural loads or high-stress environments, consult an engineer to confirm suitability for your specific application.
Brass offers good resistance to oxidation in dry indoor environments. In humid or outdoor conditions, it may develop a natural patina over time. For applications requiring a bright finish long-term, a clear lacquer or wax coating is recommended. Brass is not suitable for prolonged immersion in salt water or highly acidic environments without additional protection.
Yes. Thinner sheets (0.3 mm – 1 mm) can be cut with tin snips, bench shears, or a craft knife and straight edge. Thicker sheets (1.2 mm and above) are best cut with a hacksaw, angle grinder, or CNC router. Drilling is straightforward with standard HSS drill bits — use a slow speed and cutting fluid for clean holes. Laser cutting and waterjet cutting are also compatible with all thicknesses in this range.
Brass is an excellent substrate for both soft soldering (using standard electronics or plumbing solder) and brazing (using silver brazing alloys). Clean the surface with flux before soldering for best adhesion. It is widely used in electronics, plumbing fittings, and jewellery fabrication for this reason.
The 1 Pcs option is ideal if you need a single piece for a one-off project or want to test a size before ordering more. The 2 Pcs and 4 Pcs packs offer better value per piece for repeat projects, prototyping runs, or when you need spares. Select your preferred thickness and sheet size first, then choose the pack size that matches your quantity needs.
Common applications include: custom shim stock and precision spacers for mechanical assemblies; engraving blanks for name plates, trophy plates, and signage; decorative inlays for woodworking and furniture; jewellery components and findings; electrical contact strips and bus bars; heat-sink backing plates; and model engineering parts. The wide range of thicknesses and sizes makes this listing suitable for both fine detail work and heavier fabrication tasks.
