Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zinc, with varying levels of zinc creating distinct grades, each suited for specific applications. At Metal Sheets Ltd, we stock high-quality CZ106, CZ108, and CZ120 brass sheet metal to meet a range of project requirements.

Gilding metal (90% Cu + 10% Zn), CZ101: With its bronze-gold appearance, CZ101 is perfect for architectural features, ornamental trims, jewellery, badges and vitreous enamel bases. Its stunning colour and excellent workability mean it’s a popular choice for decorative and artistic uses.

Gilding metal (85% Cu + 15% Zn), CZ102: Recognised for its tan-gold hue, CZ102 combines visual appeal with practicality, making it perfect for architectural applications that demand both beauty and durability.

Brass (80% Cu + 20% Zn), CZ103: This classic golden brass grade is widely used for decorative trims and architectural elements, offering a balance of elegance and resilience.

Cartridge brass or spinning brass (70% Cu + 30% Zn), CZ106: With its green-gold tone, CZ106 is known for its excellent ductility and cold-forming properties, which make it ideal for intricate designs, precision engineering, and metal spinning.

Common brass or yellow brass (63% Cu + 37% Zn), CZ108: CZ108, with its highly versatile yellow colour, is a go-to choice for electrical and plumbing applications, providing reliability and versatility across general-purpose uses.

Engraving brass (59% Cu + 39% Zn + 2% Pb), CZ120: Designed for ease of machining, CZ120 features a distinctive colour, making it the preferred brass grade for engraved plaques across numerous industries.

Brass offers outstanding corrosion resistance, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Its mechanical properties, including strength, formability and malleability, ensure durability in even the most challenging conditions, making it an economical and long-lasting choice.

Brass is also an excellent conductor of electricity, which makes it a key material for applications requiring electrical connectivity, such as terminals and connectors. Its low electrical resistance enhances performance in electronic systems, ensuring reliable operation. Over time, brass develops a natural patina, adding an attractive aesthetic while maintaining its functional properties.

Thanks to its versatility, brass is easy to machine, forge, and cast to suit a wide range of applications. From intricate art pieces to essential machinery components, brass sheets provide engineers and designers with a dependable and adaptable material for every project. Whether you’re creating stunning decorative items, practical tools, or handling large-scale construction tasks, our brass sheeting delivers unmatched reliability and quality.

If you need a metal sheet offering exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, stainless steel could be the solution. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a lighter option, aluminium sheets could be the ideal choice.
