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 metal that machines cleanly, solders reliably, and resists corrosion without surface treatment, finding the right brass sheet in the exact thickness you need can be frustrating. This H62 brass sheet plate is stocked for makers, electricians, model builders, and repair technicians who need a ready-to-cut panel without ordering custom stock.
Each piece is cut from H62 brass alloy (approximately 62% copper, 38% zinc), delivering a balance of machinability and structural rigidity. Panels are available in three widths — 50×50mm (≈1.97×1.97 in), 50×100mm (≈1.97×3.94 in), and 50×200mm (≈1.97×7.87 in) — with thickness options spanning 0.3mm to 6mm (≈0.012–0.236 in). Packing quantities of 1, 2, or 4 pieces are available depending on the variant selected.
Typical applications for this H62 brass sheet plate include electrical bus bar blanks and terminal shims, scale model structural panels and decorative trim, gasket and spacer fabrication for mechanical assemblies, and craft or jewelry base stock where a warm gold tone is required.
H62 Alloy Composition — Approximately 62% copper and 38% zinc for a reliable balance of ductility, machinability, and corrosion resistance in indoor and mildly humid environments.
Multi-Size Selection — Three panel footprints (50×50 / 50×100 / 50×200mm) combined with 13 thickness steps from 0.3mm to 6mm let you match stock to your exact project requirement without excess waste.
Ready-to-Cut Flat Stock — Panels are supplied flat and deburr-ready, reducing bench prep time. Thin gauges (0.3–1mm) can be scored and snapped; thicker gauges (2–6mm) are suited to band saw or angle grinder cutting.
Electrically Conductive — H62 brass offers good electrical conductivity, making these sheets suitable for bus bar blanks, grounding straps, and terminal fabrication in low-voltage DC applications.
Natural Brass Finish — The warm golden surface is suitable for decorative applications as-is, or can be polished, lacquered, patinated, or plated to achieve a range of finishes.
Flexible Pack Quantities — Order 1, 2, or 4 pieces per variant to match your project volume, minimizing leftover stock and keeping per-piece cost efficient for small-batch work.

For low-current terminal shims and grounding straps, 0.5–1mm is typically sufficient. For bus bar blanks carrying higher current loads, 2–4mm provides the cross-sectional area needed to keep resistive heating within safe limits. If you are unsure, calculate the required cross-section based on your target amperage and consult your local electrical code.
Yes. H62 brass responds well to soft soldering with standard rosin-core or acid-core solder and a suitable flux. For higher-strength joints, silver brazing with a brass-compatible flux is recommended. Ensure the surface is clean and free of oxidation before applying heat for best results.
H62 brass will develop a natural patina (darkening or greenish tinge) when exposed to moisture, salt air, or acidic environments over time. For indoor decorative or electrical use, this is typically not a structural concern. To preserve the original finish, apply a clear lacquer or wax coating after polishing. For outdoor or marine applications, consider a more corrosion-resistant alloy such as C260 or C464 naval brass.
Thin gauges (0.3–1mm) can be cut with aviation tin snips, a jeweler's saw, or a rotary tool with a cutting disc. Gauges from 1.5–3mm work well with a band saw or jigsaw fitted with a metal-cutting blade. For 4–6mm stock, an angle grinder with a thin cutting disc or a cold saw is recommended. Always deburr cut edges with a file or deburring tool before handling.
Direct contact between brass and aluminum in the presence of moisture can cause galvanic corrosion on the aluminum. Use an insulating gasket or dielectric grease between dissimilar metals in wet environments. Brass and stainless steel have a smaller galvanic potential difference and are generally compatible for most indoor mechanical assemblies.
Select the panel size closest to your finished part dimensions to minimize waste. The 50×50mm panels suit small brackets, spacers, and jewelry blanks. The 50×100mm panels are a good fit for terminal plates, model structural members, and medium gaskets. The 50×200mm panels are best for longer shims, decorative strips, or when you need to cut multiple smaller pieces from a single sheet.
Yes. H62 brass drills cleanly with standard HSS drill bits at moderate speeds with light cutting oil. For tapping, use a spiral-point tap with cutting fluid; brass is relatively soft and threads form cleanly. Sheets thinner than 1.5mm may not provide enough material for reliable threaded holes — consider using a nut or rivet nut on thin stock instead.
