COPPER ALLOY 260 BRASS
Copper alloy 260 Brass is an excellent corrosion resistance metal in most environments and is often referred as Cartride Brass. This type of copper is considered by many to be the “work-horse” of all copper alloys. However, it is applicable for use with certain materials, such as acetic acid, moist ammonia or ammonia compounds, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
Comet Metals Inc carries a wide variety of Copper metals in an assortment of alloys, gauges, widths, tempers and coil sizes. We pride ourselves on fast service, dependability and quality products, at the right price! Rush deliveries, same day shipping on stock items, and overnight delivery are available.
Comet Metals Inc presently stocks Copper Foil and Copper Sheet metal in thicknesses of 0.004 to 0.100 inches in a variety of tempers. Our slitting capabilities range from the narrowest of 3/8th inch wide on all items and as wide as 36 inches wide in certain foil gauges. In most cases, our Copper stock is 24 inches wide on all other gauges. Our current inventory stocks the Copper Alloy 260 and a few oxygen-free alloys as well. Comet Metals welcomes any opportunity in Copper you may require in the foil and sheet gauges.
