When your project demands a material that combines workability with reliable corrosion resistance, finding the right brass sheet thickness can be a challenge. Whether you are a hobbyist building custom enclosures, a maker crafting decorative inlays, or a small workshop cutting shims and gaskets, inconsistent material quality wastes time and money. This H62 brass metal sheet strip is stocked in a range of thicknesses to match your exact application.
Each strip is made from H62 yellow copper alloy — a standard-grade brass composed of approximately 62% copper and 38% zinc — delivering a balance of strength, ductility, and machinability. Strips measure 200mm (7.87 in) wide and 500mm (19.69 in) long, with thickness options ranging from 0.1mm (0.004 in) to 1mm (0.039 in). The surface carries a natural brass finish with a smooth, consistent texture suitable for cutting, bending, soldering, and light forming.
Typical use cases include crafting brass shim stock for mechanical assemblies, cutting decorative inlay strips for woodworking and furniture, fabricating thin conductive foil for electronics shielding, and producing custom gaskets or spacers for precision DIY repairs. Long-tail applications such as "thin brass sheet for model making" and "copper foil strip for electrical grounding" are well served by this versatile stock.

For ultra-thin shims, gaskets, or EMI foil applications, 0.1mm–0.3mm is typically sufficient. For decorative inlays or light structural brackets, 0.4mm–0.6mm offers a good balance of rigidity and formability. For load-bearing shims or spacers that need to hold shape under pressure, 0.8mm–1mm is recommended. If you are unsure, start with 0.5mm as a versatile mid-range option.
Yes. H62 brass has a tensile strength typically in the range of 300–420 MPa depending on temper and thickness. For light-duty shim and spacer applications — such as adjusting bearing clearances or leveling machinery — the 0.5mm–1mm variants provide adequate strength. For heavy-load or high-vibration environments, consult a materials engineer for confirmation.
H62 brass does not rust (it contains no iron), but it can develop a natural patina (oxidation) over time when exposed to air and moisture. In typical indoor environments this process is slow and does not affect structural integrity. For outdoor or high-humidity applications, applying a clear lacquer or wax coating will preserve the surface appearance. Avoid prolonged contact with ammonia-based cleaners, which can cause stress corrosion cracking in brass.
Yes. Thinner variants (0.1mm–0.3mm) can be cut cleanly with heavy-duty scissors, a craft knife and straight edge, or a guillotine shear. Thicker variants (0.4mm–1mm) are best cut with bench shears, a CNC router, or a laser cutter. A fine-tooth hacksaw or jeweler's saw also works well for straight cuts. Always deburr cut edges with a file or fine sandpaper before handling.
Yes. H62 brass solders readily with standard 60/40 or lead-free soft solder using a rosin flux. For brazing, silver-bearing alloys (e.g., 45% silver brazing rod) with a suitable flux work well. Clean the surface with fine abrasive or flux before joining to ensure a strong bond. This makes the strips suitable for electronics assembly, plumbing patch work, and decorative metalwork.
H62 brass contains approximately 62% copper and 38% zinc, making it slightly harder and more machinable than H65 (65% Cu), which is softer and more ductile. C260 (Cartridge Brass) is the closest Western equivalent to H65 and is known for excellent cold-working properties. H62 is a practical choice for general fabrication, shim stock, and decorative work where a balance of strength and workability is needed without the cost premium of higher-copper alloys.
Yes, with some considerations. H62 brass has moderate electrical conductivity (approximately 26–28% IACS), which is adequate for grounding straps, bonding jumpers, and light EMI shielding foil in enclosures. For high-current or low-resistance applications, pure copper (C110) is a better choice. For decorative shielding or low-frequency EMI barriers, the 0.1mm–0.3mm brass foil variants work well.
