What Is Flat Brass Wire?
Definition and Basic Characteristics
Flat brass wire is a precision-manufactured brass product with a rectangular or square cross-section. It is produced for applications that require consistent feeding, controlled dimensions, and reliable forming performance.
Fullgreat Metal Limited supplies customized flat brass wire with thicknesses from 0.05 to 3.0 mm and widths from 0.1 to 20 mm, customizable to customer drawings. Brass alloy options include H65 and H70, with tailored hardness available for different processing requirements.
Manufacturing Process: Precision Rolling and Drawing
Flat brass wire is manufactured using advanced precision flat rolling and micro-cold drawing systems. These processes help maintain thickness and width tolerances within ±0.015 mm, supporting stable performance in automated machinery.
Custom cross-sections, edge profiles, and hardness conditions are available. Edge options include round edges, square edges, and deburred profiles, while the surface can be supplied with a bright polished finish free from pitting, scale, and lateral camber distortion.
Key Properties of Flat Brass Wire
Corrosion Resistance and Durability
Flat brass wire offers a durable metal profile for industrial hardware, automotive components, electronics, and other applications where consistent performance matters. Its suitability depends on the selected brass alloy, temper, dimensions, and working conditions.
Electrical Conductivity
Flat brass wire is used in electronics and related components where a stable, accurately formed metal profile is required. Fullgreat supplies brass alloy options such as H65 and H70, with specifications selected according to the application and production requirements.
Dimensional Accuracy and Surface Quality
Our precision flat brass wire is produced with thickness and width tolerances controlled within ±0.015 mm. This helps support reliable feeding in automated equipment and reduces the risk of production jams. Available profiles include round edges, square edges, and custom deburred edges. The surface can be supplied with a bright polished finish, free from pitting, scale, and lateral camber distortion.
Formability and Machinability
We can adjust the hardness of flat brass wire for different processing needs. Soft-annealed material supports intricate cold heading and stamping, while full-hard material is suitable for heavier spring applications. Custom slitting, edge conditioning, and packaging are also available for production lines requiring a specific flat wire profile.
Available Brass Grades for Flat Brass Wire
H65 Brass Flat Wire
H65 brass is a common alloy for flat wire applications, offering good formability and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for hardware components, zipper teeth, and precision stamping parts. We produce H65 flat brass wire in custom rectangular or square profiles, with controlled dimensions and surface quality.
H70 Brass Flat Wire
H70 brass provides slightly higher copper content than H65, offering improved corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. It is commonly specified for decorative hardware, electrical components, and precision forming applications. Custom thickness, width, hardness, and edge profiles are available.
Other Brass Alloys
We also work with other brass alloys based on customer requirements. Available flat wire can be produced in custom rectangular or square profiles, with thicknesses from 0.05 to 3.0 mm and widths from 0.1 to 20 mm. Material selection is confirmed against the required application and production specifications.
Applications of Flat Brass Wire
Precision Hardware and Fasteners
Our flat brass wire supports hardware stamping and precision metal components that require consistent dimensions. Custom widths, thicknesses, edge profiles, and hardness levels help manufacturers match the wire to their forming and assembly processes.
Decorative and Architectural Metalwork
Flat brass wire can be specified for selected decorative metalwork and hardware applications where a bright, polished surface and clean profile are important. Available rectangular and square sections support different design and fabrication requirements.
Electrical and Electronic Components
Flat brass wire is used in electronics and other precision components that require stable, accurately controlled material. We provide custom dimensions and surface quality suited to component production and automated processing.
Zipper and Clothing Accessories
Flat brass wire is used to produce garment hardware and metal zipper parts, including Y-teeth and top and bottom stops. Tight dimensional control helps support reliable feeding during production.

What is the difference between H65 and H70 brass?
H65 brass contains approximately 65% copper and 35% zinc, offering good formability and corrosion resistance for general hardware and zipper applications. H70 brass contains approximately 70% copper and 30% zinc, providing slightly higher corrosion resistance and conductivity for decorative and electrical components. We recommend the suitable grade based on the required strength, formability, corrosion resistance, and application.
Can you provide samples for testing?
Yes. We provide free custom-slit precision flat wire testing coils on request. Samples can be prepared to support evaluation of dimensions, edge profile, hardness, surface condition, and forming performance.
