360 brass bend-able?

[Robert_Phelps]

If I anneal it, can I bend 360 brass? It will be close to a 90 degree bend. If not, where can I buy brass bar that isn't 360? I'm placing a order soon (with money from my first knife sale) , but Jantz doesn't have anything but 360.

Also, does anyone carry nickel silver in 1/8" thickness?

Thanks,
-Robert

www.mcmaster.com has alloy 260 [cartridge brass ] which is the most formable . Alloy 360 is a leaded brass and has some limits for bending.

It can be bent to an extent but when I made a 90 degree bend it cracked. Heck it even cracks when forged at 1700 degrees. Just go with the 260 Mete listed.
