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 accurate metal sheet with reliable electrical conductivity, generic stock simply falls short. Makers, hobbyists, and small-workshop fabricators who need a dependable H62 brass plate know the frustration of warped edges, inconsistent thickness, or alloys that corrode under light use. These flat brass panels are cut to precise square and rectangular dimensions so you can measure once and cut with confidence.
Each piece is made from H62 brass — a copper-zinc alloy (approximately 62% copper) valued for its balance of conductivity, machinability, and corrosion resistance. Sizes range from 10 mm × 10 mm up to 300 mm × 300 mm (roughly 0.39 in × 0.39 in to 11.8 in × 11.8 in), with thickness options spanning 0.1 mm to 10 mm (0.004 in to 0.39 in). Rectangular formats such as 50 mm × 100 mm and 100 mm × 200 mm are also available. Pieces are sold in packs of 1–10 depending on the selected size.
Typical applications include electrical contact shims and bus-bar blanks for DIY electronics, RF shielding inserts for enclosure builds, decorative inlay panels for woodworking and leathercraft, and precision spacer stock for mechanical assemblies. The flat, smooth surface also suits etching, engraving, and chemical-patina finishing for artistic metalwork.

Start with your finished part dimensions and add a small cutting allowance (typically 1–2 mm per edge). For shims and gaskets, match the thickness to your gap measurement. For structural brackets or spacers, choose a thickness that provides the required rigidity — 1–3 mm suits most light-duty brackets, while 4–10 mm is appropriate for load-bearing applications. Use the Size dropdown above to select the exact combination you need.
H62 brass has a tensile strength of approximately 340–420 MPa in the annealed to half-hard condition, making it suitable for light-to-medium structural applications such as brackets, spacers, and mounting plates. For heavy-load or high-vibration environments, consider thicker stock (4 mm and above) or consult an engineer for your specific load case.
H62 brass forms a stable copper-oxide patina that protects against atmospheric corrosion in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. It is not recommended for continuous immersion in salt water or exposure to strong acids without a protective coating. For humid or mildly corrosive environments, a clear lacquer or wax finish will extend the appearance and service life.
Yes. H62 brass solders readily with standard tin-lead or lead-free solder and a mild rosin flux. For brazing, use a brass-compatible brazing rod and ensure the surface is clean and oxide-free before heating. The alloy's copper content provides good wettability, making it a reliable choice for electrical joints and plumbing-style connections.
H62 brass machines cleanly on CNC routers and mills equipped with non-ferrous tooling. It can also be cut with a jeweler's saw, metal shears, or a waterjet cutter. Fiber laser cutting is effective for thicknesses up to approximately 3 mm; thicker plates are better suited to waterjet or mechanical cutting. Always use appropriate speeds and feeds for brass to avoid work-hardening.
Thin variants (0.1–0.5 mm) are flexible enough to be bent by hand and are ideal for shims, EMI shielding inserts, and decorative inlays. Mid-range thicknesses (0.8–3 mm) offer a balance of formability and rigidity, suitable for brackets, contact strips, and engraving blanks. Thick plates (4–10 mm) are rigid and intended for machined parts, heavy spacers, and structural components.
Pack quantity varies by size. Smaller square formats (10–80 mm) typically include 10 pieces per pack, giving you extras for prototyping. Larger formats (100 mm and above) and rectangular pieces are generally sold as 1–5 pieces per pack. The exact quantity is shown in the variant name in the Size dropdown — for example, "50mm × 50mm × 0.1mm (10 Pcs)" includes 10 pieces.
