FAQs about Brass Flat Bar
A brass flat bar is a rectangular strip of brass known for its flat surface and straight edges. It is commonly used in projects requiring both aesthetic appeal and strength, such as architectural detailing, decorative elements, and various industrial applications.
Brass flat bars are versatile and used in various applications, including:
- Architectural trim and detailing
- Decorative elements in interior design
- Manufacturing of precision instruments
- Furniture and cabinet hardware
- General engineering and electrical components.
The two popular brass alloys used in flat bars are C36000 and C38500:
- C36000 (Free-Cutting Brass): Known for its excellent machinability, it is used in applications requiring extensive machining.
- C38500 (Architectural Bronze): Preferred for applications involving significant cold working and offers enhanced corrosion resistance.
Brass flat bars offer several advantages:
- Aesthetic Appeal: The natural golden hue of brass adds elegance to any application.
- Durability: Brass is resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Machinability: Brass is easy to machine, allowing for precision in manufacturing.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from decorative to structural uses.
To maintain and clean brass flat bars:
- Regular Cleaning: Use mild detergents and solvents like water or organic solvents for initial cleaning.
- Polishing: Use liquid polishes, solid polishes, or wadding to remove tarnish and restore shine.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use acidic cleaners like vinegar cautiously to prevent damage to the brass surface.
Brass flat bars typically exhibit the following mechanical properties:
- Tensile Strength: Ranges from 49,000 to 68,000 psi (338 to 469 MPa).
- Yield Strength: Ranges from 18,000 to 45,000 psi (124 to 310 MPa).
- Shear Strength: Ranges from 30,500 to 45,000 psi (210 to 310 MPa).
- Density: Approximately 0.307 lb/in³ (8.50 g/cc).
Brass flat bars come in various sizes and thicknesses. Common sizes include widths from 1/8 inch to 1 inch and lengths typically around 144 inches. Thicknesses can range from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch, depending on the specific requirements.
