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 flat, dimensionally consistent metal blank that machines cleanly and resists tarnish, finding the right brass disc in the exact thickness and diameter can be frustrating. Whether you are a hobbyist machinist, a jewellery maker, or a workshop fabricator, these H62 brass round plates give you a reliable starting point without the waste of cutting from sheet stock.
Each disc is cut from H62 copper-zinc alloy brass, offering a balance of machinability, moderate strength, and a warm golden finish. Thickness options range from 0.5 mm to 3 mm (approximately 0.020 in to 0.118 in), and diameters span 10 mm to 200 mm (approximately 0.39 in to 7.87 in), covering a wide range of project requirements. Edges are typically sheared or laser-cut and may require light deburring before use.
These brass discs are well suited for engraving blanks and stamping tags, custom gaskets and spacers for light-duty mechanical assemblies, decorative inlays and craft medallions, and electrical contact or shim stock applications where non-ferrous material is required.
H62 brass (approximately 62% copper, 38% zinc) offers good machinability, moderate tensile strength, and natural corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light outdoor environments.
Thickness from 0.5 mm to 3 mm and diameter from 10 mm to 200 mm — select the exact combination you need from the variant options above.
Supplied as flat round discs, saving you the time and material loss of cutting circles from rectangular sheet stock. Light deburring may be needed on cut edges.
Ideal for engraving tags, gaskets, spacers, decorative inlays, electrical shims, and craft projects requiring a non-ferrous flat metal blank.
Available in 1, 2, 5, or 10-piece packs — order just what you need for a single prototype or stock up for batch production runs.
H62 brass forms a stable oxide layer that slows further corrosion in dry and mildly humid conditions, making it suitable for indoor hardware, decorative, and light mechanical uses.

Select the thickness based on the structural or decorative requirement of your application — 0.5 mm is suitable for thin shims and craft tags, while 2–3 mm suits gaskets and light mechanical spacers. Choose the diameter closest to your finished part size, leaving a small allowance for turning or filing to final dimension.
H62 brass has a typical tensile strength of 330–420 MPa, making it suitable for light-duty mechanical applications such as spacers, bushings, and gaskets. It is not recommended for high-load structural or high-pressure applications where steel or bronze alloys would be more appropriate.
H62 brass does not rust (it contains no iron), but it can oxidise and develop a patina over time when exposed to air and moisture. In dry indoor environments it remains bright for extended periods. For outdoor or humid applications, a clear lacquer or wax coating is recommended to slow tarnishing.
Yes. H62 brass solders well with standard rosin or acid flux and soft solder. It can also be brazed using silver-bearing brazing alloys. Ensure surfaces are clean and free of oxide before joining for best results.
Yes. H62 brass machines well on lathes, mills, and drill presses using standard HSS or carbide tooling. Use cutting fluid or light oil to extend tool life and achieve a cleaner finish. Secure the disc firmly to prevent chatter, especially on thinner pieces.
If you are prototyping or need a single replacement part, the 1 or 2-piece pack is the most economical choice. For small batch production, craft projects, or to keep spares on hand, the 5 or 10-piece pack offers a lower per-unit cost. Check the price per piece across pack sizes before ordering.
Cut edges may have minor burrs depending on the cutting method used. A few passes with a fine file or deburring tool will produce a smooth, safe edge. If a polished edge is required, progress through 220, 400, and 600-grit wet-dry sandpaper followed by a brass polishing compound.
