Precision Brass Wire 100gm

Description

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy valued for being easy to bend and shape while resisting corrosion better than plain steel, which makes it a popular choice for model-making, prototyping and general classroom material work. This wire is supplied in a manageable 100 gram quantity, suitable for individual student use or small group activities.

It supports hands-on work in general science, physics and design-and-technology classes wherever a workable, presentable metal wire is needed.

Care & Maintenance / Safety Note

• Store the wire coiled in a dry place; brass resists corrosion well but can still tarnish over long periods of exposure.
• Wear eye protection and handle cut ends carefully, as freshly cut wire can leave sharp edges.
• Use proper pliers or wire cutters rather than repeated hand-bending, which can work-harden and snap the wire.
• Keep leftover wire neatly coiled to prevent kinks before its next use.

FAQ

Q: What is brass wire commonly used for in a lab or classroom?
A: It is commonly used for model-making, prototyping and general demonstrations where an easily shaped, corrosion-resistant wire is useful.

Q: What gauge or diameter is this wire?
A: The exact gauge is not specified for this listing. Please contact our sales team to confirm before you order.

Q: How is brass different from copper or steel wire?
A: Brass is a copper-zinc alloy that combines good shapeability with better corrosion resistance than plain steel, while typically being less electrically conductive than pure copper.

Q: How much wire is in a 100 gm quantity?
A: The length depends on the wire’s gauge, which is not specified for this listing — please confirm with our sales team if you need a specific length.

Q: Can this wire be bent and reshaped multiple times?
A: Yes, within reason — but repeated bending at the same point can work-harden the wire and eventually cause it to snap, so it is best reshaped gently.

Q: How should I store the wire between uses?
A: Keep it coiled and in a dry location to reduce the risk of tarnishing and tangling.
