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 material that machines cleanly, solders reliably, and resists corrosion without constant maintenance, finding the right brass stock in the exact size you need can be a real obstacle. Hobbyists, model engineers, electronics makers, and repair technicians all face the same frustration: standard hardware store stock rarely matches the precise thickness or footprint a job requires. These H62 brass sheet plates are stocked in a wide range of thicknesses and cut dimensions specifically to solve that problem.
Each piece is made from H62 grade brass — a copper-zinc alloy (approximately 62% copper) known for its balance of machinability, moderate strength, and corrosion resistance. Thickness options span from 0.3 mm (approx. 0.012 in) up to 32 mm (approx. 1.26 in), with width and length combinations ranging from 10 × 10 mm (approx. 0.39 × 0.39 in) up to 300 × 600 mm (approx. 11.8 × 23.6 in). Pieces are available individually or in small multi-packs of 2 or 4.
Typical applications include shim stock and precision spacers in mechanical assemblies, flat bar stock for custom brackets and electrical bus bars, decorative inlay strips for woodworking and furniture repair, and raw material for small-batch CNC milling or hand-filing of custom parts. The consistent thickness and flat surface finish make these sheets well-suited for any task where dimensional accuracy matters.

For shim and gasket applications, thicknesses of 0.3 mm – 1 mm are typical. For structural brackets, spacers, or flat bar stock that needs to be drilled and tapped, 2 mm – 6 mm is a common range. For heavy-duty blocks or solid bar stock, 15 mm – 32 mm options are available. If you are unsure, measure the gap or load requirement in your assembly and select the nearest available thickness above that value.
H62 brass has a tensile strength of approximately 330–420 MPa depending on temper, which is adequate for light to moderate structural applications such as brackets, spacers, and bearing surfaces. It is not recommended as a primary structural material in high-stress or impact-loaded assemblies. For those applications, consider steel or aluminium alloy alternatives.
H62 brass resists general atmospheric corrosion well and is suitable for lightly exposed outdoor environments. Over time, the surface will develop a natural patina (darkening or greening) when exposed to moisture and air. For applications requiring a bright finish, periodic polishing or a clear lacquer coating is recommended. For fully submerged or marine environments, a higher-grade copper alloy or stainless steel would be more appropriate.
Yes. H62 brass solders and brazes readily using standard flux and silver solder or soft solder. Clean the surface with fine abrasive paper or flux before soldering to remove any surface oxide. The material is also weldable by TIG or MIG with appropriate brass filler wire, though soldering or brazing is more common for thin sheet work.
Yes. H62 brass is one of the more machinable copper alloys and cuts cleanly with standard HSS or carbide tooling. Use cutting fluid or coolant for thicker sections and higher feed rates. The flat mill finish provides a consistent reference surface for fixturing. Drilling, tapping, sawing, and filing are all straightforward with standard workshop tools.
It is generally advisable to order a size slightly larger than your finished dimension to allow for saw kerf, filing, and any fixturing allowance. For example, if your finished part is 95 × 95 mm, the 100 × 100 mm variant gives you a small margin. For thin shim stock where the sheet will be used as-is, order the size closest to your required footprint. Check the Width × Length option carefully — dimensions are listed as Width × Length in millimetres.
The pack quantity options let you order multiple identical pieces in a single transaction. The 1 pcs option is suitable for one-off projects or prototyping. The 2 pcs and 4 pcs packs are available for selected sizes and are useful when you need spares, are making multiple identical parts, or want to reduce per-piece cost. Not all size combinations are available in all pack quantities — check the variant selector for available combinations.
