Finding flat brass stock in the exact width and thickness you need — without ordering a full industrial roll — is a constant frustration for hobbyists, model makers, and workshop engineers alike. These brass sheet and foil strips are stocked in a wide matrix of sizes so you can order precisely what your project demands, with no waste and no minimum order headache.
Each piece is cut from C26000 cartridge brass (Cu 70% / Zn 30%), delivering a warm golden finish with reliable mechanical properties. Width options span 10 mm (0.39 in) to 305 mm (12.0 in), and length options run 500 mm (19.7 in) or 1000 mm (39.4 in). Thickness ranges from ultra-thin 0.01 mm foil up to a solid 1 mm plate, covering the full spectrum from flexible shim stock to structural strip.
Typical applications include precision shim and spacer fabrication for machinery alignment, decorative inlay and engraving blanks for woodworking and jewellery, EMI/RF shielding strips in electronics enclosures, and scale model detailing where thin brass sheet is the material of choice. The consistent gauge and flat surface also make these strips well-suited for etching, chemical milling, and PCB prototyping work.

For flexible shims, gaskets, or foil wrapping, choose 0.01–0.05 mm. For decorative inlay, engraving blanks, or light structural strips, 0.1–0.3 mm is the most common range. For load-bearing brackets, spacers, or heavier fabrication, select 0.5–1 mm. If you are unsure, contact us with your application details and we can advise.
C26000 cartridge brass typically has a tensile strength of 330–480 MPa depending on temper and thickness. Thinner foil gauges tend toward the softer end of the range, while thicker plate stock is closer to the upper end. This makes the material suitable for moderate structural loads but not for high-stress engineering applications where steel or bronze would be preferred.
Brass does not rust (rust is specific to iron-based metals). It does oxidise slowly in air, forming a stable patina that actually protects the underlying metal. In normal indoor environments, no protective coating is required. In high-humidity or marine environments, a clear lacquer or wax coating is recommended to maintain the bright finish.
Yes. C26000 brass solders readily with standard tin-lead or lead-free solder using a rosin flux. It can also be silver-brazed for higher-strength joints. Clean the surface with fine abrasive or flux before soldering to ensure a good bond. Avoid overheating thin foil gauges as they can warp.
Yes. Thinner gauges (0.1–0.3 mm) can be cut with a fibre laser cutter. Thicker gauges (0.5–1 mm) are better suited to CNC routing with a carbide end mill or waterjet cutting. Always use appropriate feeds, speeds, and coolant for brass to avoid work-hardening the cut edge.
The 500 mm length (approx. 19.7 in) is available in the 200 mm wide variants and is ideal for smaller projects or when you need a more square-format sheet. The 1000 mm length (approx. 39.4 in) is available across most widths and suits strip, shim, and roll applications where a longer run is needed. Check the variant selector for the exact size combinations available.
Yes. Brass has good electrical conductivity (approximately 28% IACS) and is commonly used for grounding straps, EMI shielding enclosures, and RF gaskets. Thin foil gauges (0.01–0.1 mm) are particularly useful for wrapping cables or lining enclosures. Ensure good electrical contact by cleaning the surface before installation.
