What is Brass?

Our laser cut brass is gorgeous, easy to form, bend, and machine. This makes it the perfect material for your smaller hinges, locks, and other fasteners well-suited to brass usage.

Brass prevents bacterial growth due to its innate antimicrobial properties. It’s great for applications that are exposed to handling, such as bathroom fixtures.

What can you make with Brass?

Additionally, unlike steel and iron, brass will not rust when used in external applications, and that makes it great for signage and decorative displays. However, if you intend to use it this way, it’s important to note that it will corrode with moisture, specifically in the form of tarnish.

Brass is a combination of copper and zinc (with a few other trace elements), and the tarnishing effect is similar to copper.

SendCutSend’s brass cutting service will provide beautiful parts made to your specifications.
