Brass Fasteners
Brass fasteners offer excellent corrosion resistance, are non-magnetic and provide a clean finish. Our range of brass fasteners includes screws, nuts, washers, and spacers, all available in common brass grades from stock, with custom options available to order.
Brass fasteners, often confused with bronze fasteners, are manufactured from an alloy of copper and zinc, offering a strong combination of anti-rust performance, non-magnetic properties and reliable corrosion resistance. Brass fasteners are widely used in applications where corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and visual appearance are just as important as mechanical performance.
Where are brass fasteners used?
Brass fasteners are commonly used in applications where corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, or a decorative finish is required. Typical industries include:
- Electrical and electronic equipment
- Marine and coastal environments
- Plumbing and pipe fittings
- Architectural fittings and hardware
Brass Fastener Material
We supply brass components in two common alloy types, each offering distinct advantages:
- Brass Cu2 (CuZn37 / CZ108) – This is a widely used yellow brass composed of around 37% zinc. It provides good strength, excellent cold working properties, and strong resistance to water and general corrosion.
- Brass Cu3 (CuZn39Pb3 / CZ122) – With approximately 39% zinc and 3% lead, this grade offers excellent machinability, along with increased strength and corrosion resistance compared to standard brass.
We also manufacture bespoke brass fasteners in non-standard sizes and specialist material grades. Minimum order quantities apply.
