5. Usage and Processing

This brass tube can be processed using standard metalworking techniques to suit your project requirements.

• Cutting: The tube can be precisely cut to desired lengths using appropriate tools such as a hacksaw, pipe cutter, or abrasive cut-off saw. Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for brass to achieve clean edges.
• Welding: Brass can be welded using various methods, including TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) or MIG (Gas Metal Arc Welding) with appropriate filler rods and shielding gases. Consult a welding professional if you are unfamiliar with brass welding techniques.
• Punching/Drilling: Holes can be punched or drilled into the tube using standard metal drills or punches. Use sharp tools and appropriate lubricants to prevent work hardening and ensure clean holes.
• Bending: While brass is malleable, bending this tube, especially with a 2mm wall thickness, requires proper tools (e.g., a tube bender) to prevent kinking or collapsing. Annealing may be necessary for tighter bends.

6. Maintenance and Care

To maintain the appearance and integrity of your brass tube:

• Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the tube with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks or tarnish, use a brass cleaner according to the product instructions.
• Polishing: To restore shine, polish the tube with a brass polish. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Store brass tubes in a dry environment to prevent oxidation and tarnishing. If storing for extended periods, consider wrapping them in acid-free paper or cloth.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their solutions:

• Tarnishing/Discoloration: Brass naturally oxidizes over time, leading to tarnishing. This can be removed with brass cleaner and polishing. Ensure proper storage to slow down the process.
• Difficulty Cutting: If cuts are rough or difficult, ensure your cutting tool is sharp and appropriate for brass. Apply cutting fluid if necessary.
• Tube Kinking During Bending: This usually indicates insufficient support during bending or attempting too tight a radius without annealing. Use a proper tube bender and consider annealing the brass before bending.

8. Warranty and Support
