Brass Bars
Interstate Metal Inc. carries an extensive inventory of brass sheet, plate, rod, bar, tube, pipe, and fittings. Brass Alloys are those made of copper and zinc. Binary alloys of copper and zinc are commonly known as “brasses”. Interstate Metal Inc. inventories the following brasses of C26000, C26800, C27200, , C33000, C36000, C38500, C46400. Brass and Brass Alloys are commonly used for decoration, in musical instruments as well as fittings, casings, valves, doorknobs and electrical applications.
The brasses are the most widely used and least expensive of the copper-based alloys. They possess relatively good corrosion resistance, moderately high strength, and in some compositions exceptionally good ductility and excellent forming characteristics when shaped by pressing, deep drawing, rolling and machining. Improved tensile properties are the result of cold working. After cold working, they can be softened and recrystallized by appropriate annealing. Adding lead to the brasses in amounts of 0.5 to 4%, results in free cutting of free-machining alloys in which the elemental lead is present as uniformly dispersed particles. The high content of lead results in a relatively low ductility and plasticity.
To complement our extensive inventory, we provide material cut to your specifications on our precision plate saws, bar saws, shears, and water jet. Holding tolerances as close as +/- .005”, we can eliminate unnecessary machining along with machine time.
Interstate Metal Inc. has been in the metal industry over 30 years and our long time commitment, dedication, and service has proven to serve you and your company. Please contact us today 562-906-2965 and let our knowledgeable sales team assist you with your brass needs.

Brass Sheet and Coil
Brass Sheet & Coil Brass is a popular material used in various industries due to its excellent properties, exceptional corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity, and aesthetic appeal. One of the most common forms of brass is the brass sheet metal and coil, which are widely used in the stamping industry. It is also available in other forms — including tubes, bars, and plates — for products like locks, plumbing fixtures, handles, and electrical components.Interstate Metal offers an extensive selection of high-quality brass products, including sheet, plate, rod, bar, tube, pipe, and fittings. We also have over 30 years of experience in the industry, which earned us a reputation for our unwavering commitment, dedication, and superior customer service.
The Composition and Properties of Brass
Brass is a metal alloy of varying proportions of copper and zinc. The ratio of copper ranges from 55% to 95%, while zinc can range from 5% to 45%. The addition of zinc to copper alters the copper’s properties. This results in an alloy that is stronger, more ductile, and more corrosion-resistant than pure copper.
The superior physical and mechanical properties of brass make it suitable for various applications. In addition to its outstanding electrical conductivity, it has a low friction coefficient, ideal for bearings and bushings. It is also highly corrosion-resistant, making it appropriate for harsh settings.
Different types of brass are used for various purposes. At Interstate Metal, we offer the following grades:
- C26000: Known as cartridge brass, this composition is 70% copper and 30% zinc. It is used for cartridge cases, plumbing fittings, and valves. It is also commonly used in the lighting industries and lock hardware industries.
- C26800: This contains 66% copper and 34% zinc, and small amounts of other elements. It is commonly used for plumbing and industrial applications. This alloy can also be used in the same applications as the C26000.
Brass Products in the Stamping Industry
Brass strip products are thin, flat pieces of brass usually sold in coil or sheet form. They are made by hot or cold rolling brass to the desired thickness. Depending on the application, they can vary in thickness, width, and length. Moreover, they are available in different grades, including C260 and C268 — each with unique properties and characteristics.
Stamping is a metalworking process that uses a press machine to form flat sheet metal into a specific shape or design. The stamping industry uses brass products in various applications, such as electrical contacts, connectors, fasteners, gaskets, and heat exchangers. These products are also an excellent choice because they are ductile, meaning they can be easily formed into complex shapes without breaking.
Brass Sheet
Brass sheet metal is created by rolling the coil and cutting to length of the sheet. It is widely used in the construction, automotive, electrical, and decoration industries. In addition, its thickness can range from a few thousandths of an inch to several inches. It can also be further processed through cutting, bending, welding, and joining.
Brass Coil
A brass coil is a continuous length of brass strip wound around a core or spool. It is produced by hot or cold rolling brass metal to a specific thickness, width, and length and then coiled for storage and shipment. The coil form allows for efficient production and reduces waste, making it a cost-effective material for many applications.
