C11000 Pure Copper Sheet & Brass Copper Plate - 1.5 mm, 300 x 150 mm

This C11000 pure copper sheet and brass plate range covers four families: pure copper plate, brass plate, bronze plate and nickel silver plate. Pure copper offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity with good hot and cold working; brass brings uniform colour with excellent deep drawing and easy plating.

The listed stock item is a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) brass plate sheet, 300 mm x 150 mm (12 in x 6 in), polished and cut with a smooth, scratch-free surface. Sheet can be machined and cut into gaskets, washers, shims and spacers.

Product Overview

Copper plate and sheet is one of the most malleable metal forms. Pure copper plate has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, good hot and cold processing performance, is weldable and brazeable, and has good corrosion resistance. Brass plate has uniform colour, excellent processability and deep drawing capability, and is easy to electroplate and paint.

Bronze plate adds high strength and elasticity with resistance to seawater and industrial atmosphere corrosion, while nickel silver plate combines high strength and elasticity with corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and shielding properties. Each family is selected for a different combination of conductivity, strength and corrosion behaviour.

Key Product Features

• Four copper families in one range: Pure copper, brass, bronze and nickel silver plate are all available, so the material can be matched to conductivity, strength or corrosion requirements rather than to what happens to be in stock.
• Pure copper for conductivity: Pure copper plate has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, good hot and cold processing performance, is weldable and brazeable, and has good corrosion resistance.
• Brass for formability and finish: Brass plate has uniform colour, excellent processability and deep drawing capability, is easy to electroplate and paint, and offers good corrosion resistance and weldability.
• Bronze for strength and seawater service: Bronze plate offers high strength and elasticity together with resistance to seawater and industrial atmosphere corrosion, plus good cold workability, electroplating, hot dip plating and welding performance.
• Nickel silver for strength and shielding: Nickel silver plate provides high strength and elasticity with corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and shielding properties, plus good cold working and plating performance.
• Polished, cut and ready to use: The listed brass sheet is polished and cut, giving a bright, smooth, scratch-free surface. Sheet can be machined and cut into gaskets, washers, shims and spacers.

Project note: because we are strict on quality, defective product is refunded at twice the price. Grade and tolerance requirements are agreed before an order is released, and the surface condition of the listed sheet is bright and polished as supplied - specify at quotation if a different finish or a different temper is required.

Understanding the Specification Terms

Enquiries for this product often combine terms that describe different things. Clarifying them early avoids the most common sourcing errors:

• Pure copper plate (C11000) is selected for electrical and thermal conductivity; it is the softest and most conductive of the four families.
• Brass plate is a copper-zinc alloy chosen for uniform colour, deep drawing and easy plating - the listed stock sheet is brass.
• Bronze plate is a copper-tin alloy chosen for strength, elasticity and resistance to seawater and industrial atmospheres.
• Nickel silver plate is a copper-nickel-zinc alloy chosen for strength, elasticity, corrosion and fatigue resistance and shielding.
• Temper and size must both be stated: the listed item is 1.5 mm thick and 300 mm x 150 mm, and sheet can be machined and cut into gaskets, washers, shims and spacers.

Information Required for a Quotation

To receive an accurate offer, please provide:

• Material family (pure copper, brass, bronze or nickel silver) and grade such as C11000
• Thickness and tolerance
• Length and width, or whether the listed 300 x 150 mm sheet suits
• Temper and surface finish required
• Quantity
• Whether sheet should be cut into gaskets, washers, shims or spacers
• Certificate or inspection requirement
• Delivery terms and destination

Manufacturing, Inspection and Delivery

Sheet is polished and cut, then checked for a bright, smooth surface free of scratches. Copper plate is selected for its cutting performance and fine machining response, and for the bright, clean surface and corrosion resistance needed in steam and solution service. The quality testing page describes how inspection is organised.

Packaging and logistics cover protection and shipment. Grade and tolerance requirements are agreed before an order is released, and defective product is refunded at twice the price.
