260-H02 Brass

With high ductility and a smooth yellow finish, 260-H02 half-hard brass is a great choice for mechanical and decorative pieces. 260-H02 half-hard brass is produced from a combination of copper and zinc. Brass will not rust like steel but will oxidize over time if left untreated. Laser-cut brass may have a small amount of dross (burr) on the underside. Parts may also have small cosmetic imperfections/scratches as a result of the manufacturing process. Parts over 3 inches / 75mm can be deburred. Material Composition: Zn 30, Cu 70.
