Metal Brass Sheet & Plate

Brass used for decoration for its bright gold-like appearance and for applications where low friction is required such as locks - gears - bearings - doorknobs - ammunition casings and valves - plumbing and electrical applications. Brass is often used in situations where it is important that sparks not be struck - as in fittings and tools around explosive gases. Care should be taken using brass in marine environments - substitute it for bronze or use 'naval brass'.
