| Brass Sheets (H62) | Industrial machinery, decorative fixtures | - Corrosion Resistance: ASTM B368 (1000h salt spray) ▲▲ vs Industry Standard (ASTM B117, 500h) - Thickness: 1.2mm (ISO 3801) - Surface Finish: Polished (ISO 8287 Class 2A) | - Superior corrosion resistance for harsh environments - Versatile machining (welding, bending) - Aesthetic appeal for decorative use | - Higher cost than aluminum/zinc - Heavier than plastic composites |
| Stainless Steel Sheets | Marine equipment, food processing | - Corrosion Resistance: ASTM A240 (1000h salt spray) - Strength: Yield Strength ≥ 205 MPa | - Extremely durable in corrosive environments - High structural integrity | - Heavier, costlier than brass - Requires specialized machining tools |
| Aluminum Sheets | Automotive parts, lightweight structures | - Weight: 2.7 g/cm³ (▲ lighter than brass’s 8.4 g/cm³) - Conductivity: 23.8 MS/m (ASTM B193) | - Lightweight and cost-effective - Good thermal/electrical conductivity | - Lower corrosion resistance than brass - Less durable in heavy-duty applications |
| Zinc Sheets | Galvanized coatings, roofing | - Corrosion Resistance: ASTM B117 (500h salt spray) - Thickness: 0.5–3mm (ISO 3801) | - Affordable corrosion protection - Compatible with low-budget projects | - Lower mechanical strength vs brass/aluminum - Limited machining versatility |
| Plastic Composite Sheets | Electrical insulation, non-corrosive zones | - Weight: 1.2 g/cm³ (▲ lighter than aluminum) - Non-Conductive: Dielectric Strength ≥ 15 kV/mm (ASTM D149) | - Lightweight and insulating - Cost-effective for non-industrial use | - Low mechanical strength - Susceptible to UV degradation |
| Brass Sheets (Standard Grade) | General industrial applications | - Corrosion Resistance: ASTM B117 (500h salt spray) - Thickness: 0.8–2mm (ISO 3801) | - Cost-effective base material - Sufficient for moderate environments | - Inferior to H62 in extreme corrosion - Limited aesthetic finish options |
