Brass Foil Strip & Sheet Plate — Precision Rolled, 0.01–1mm Thick
Working with tight tolerances or intricate assemblies? Thin brass sheet and foil strip are notoriously hard to source in exact dimensions — too thick and it won't bend cleanly, too thin and it tears. This brass sheet plate and foil strip roll is engineered for makers, engineers, and hobbyists who need reliable, consistent material in ultra-thin to standard gauges.
Manufactured from C26000 cartridge brass (approximately 70% copper, 30% zinc), this material is available in thicknesses from 0.01mm to 1mm and widths from 5mm to 400mm, with lengths of 1M or 0.5M per piece. Thickness tolerance is typically ±10% for foil grades and ±5% for sheet grades.
Ideal for shim stock and precision gap filling, decorative inlay and craft metalwork, electrical shielding and grounding strips, model engineering, clockmaking, and jewelry fabrication.
✅ Compatible with standard metalworking tools — scissors, snips, and laser cutters for thin gauges; CNC routers and band saws for thicker sheet stock.
✅ Key Features of These Brass Sheet Foil Strip Rolls
📏Ultra-Thin to Standard Gauge
Available from 0.01mm foil to 1mm sheet — one listing covers the full range for your project needs.
🔩Wide Width Selection
Choose from 5mm to 400mm widths, with 1M or 0.5M length options for flexible ordering.
⚙️C26000 Cartridge Brass Alloy
~70% Cu / 30% Zn composition delivers excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.
🛡️Corrosion & Tarnish Resistant
Brass naturally resists oxidation in most indoor and light outdoor environments, maintaining appearance over time.
✂️Easy to Cut & Form
Thin gauges cut cleanly with scissors or snips; thicker gauges machine well with standard metalworking tools.
📦Rolled & Packaged for Protection
Each piece is rolled and packaged to prevent kinking or surface damage during shipping.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right thickness for my project?
For shim stock and gap filling, 0.01–0.1mm is typical. For decorative inlay or craft work, 0.1–0.3mm offers good formability. For structural or load-bearing applications, 0.5–1mm provides rigidity. If unsure, start with 0.1mm or 0.2mm as a versatile mid-range option.
Is this brass foil strong enough for electrical shielding?
Yes. Brass has approximately 28% IACS electrical conductivity, making it suitable for EMI/RFI shielding strips, grounding tabs, and contact springs. Thinner gauges (0.05–0.1mm) are commonly used for flexible shielding applications.
Will this brass tarnish or corrode over time?
Brass naturally develops a patina over time when exposed to air and moisture. For indoor applications, this is primarily cosmetic. For outdoor or high-humidity environments, consider applying a clear lacquer or wax coating to slow tarnishing.
Can I cut this with scissors or a craft knife?
Thin gauges (0.01–0.1mm) cut cleanly with sharp scissors, craft knives, or metal snips. Gauges from 0.2–0.5mm work well with aviation snips or a guillotine shear. For 0.5–1mm, a band saw, angle grinder, or CNC router is recommended for clean edges.
Is this compatible with soldering and brazing?
Yes. Brass solders and brazes readily with standard silver solder, lead-free solder, or brass brazing rod. Use an appropriate flux for brass and clean the surface before joining for best results.
What is the difference between the 1M and 0.5M length options?
The 1M option provides a 1-meter length per piece, while the 0.5M option provides a 500mm length. The 0.5M option is available for selected 200mm-wide variants. Choose based on your project's material requirements.
Can I use this for jewelry making or decorative crafts?
Absolutely. Thin brass foil (0.01–0.1mm) is popular for etching, stamping, and decorative inlay. Thicker gauges (0.2–0.5mm) are used for formed jewelry components, bezels, and structural craft elements. The bright rolled finish provides an attractive starting surface.
