Shim Stock Flat Sheets
What is Shim Stock?
Trinity Brand Industries is a trusted provider of high-quality, precision shim stock suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. When cut to the proper shape, shims serve to fill gaps between components, build up thickness in structures, and help keep equipment in proper alignment. This makes our range of shim stock flat sheets in various materials and thicknesses essential across engineering, manufacturing, tooling, and alignment jobs.
Choosing shim stock from our extensive inventory ensures you can match tolerances between components. With so many different types of metals available, you’re sure to find the one that matches your requirements whether you serve automotive, aerospace, MRO, or other industries. Compared to custom-machining new maintenance and repair parts, using shims can save you a lot of time and money, as well. Our shim stock offers easy fabrication whether it needs to be cut, drilled, or layered.
Materials and Alloy Options
Trinity Brand Industries offers a number of options for shim stock materials to fit virtually any needs you may have. These include:
- Stainless Steel: Available in 300 and 400 series grades, our stainless steel shim stock provides durability and strong corrosion resistance. This makes any of these a good choice for use in harsh environments.
- Brass: Known for its ductility, brass shim stock also offers low magnetic permeability. It can be formed easily, making it a good candidate for stamping, blanking, or drawing.
- Copper: Commonly used in applications where electrical conductivity is important, copper also can be soldered with good results.
- Aluminum: Good for uses requiring intricate forming, aluminum also is nonmagnetic and provides excellent corrosion resistance.
- Bronze: With good formability, durability, and corrosion resistance, bronze is a popular choice for shim stock when used in electrical applications thanks to its conductivity. It also can be welded, soldered, or brazed.
- Titanium: Lightweight and resistant to corrosive elements, titanium is a good choice for working in harsh conditions.
Tempering, Thicknesses, and Tolerances
We offer a number of options when it comes to tempered materials, including full-hard and annealed metals. This means we can provide you with the shim stock that provides the proper physical qualities for your application, including spring-back and stability. Our stock is available in a wide range of thicknesses, as well. With thicknesses going all the way down to 0.001” and tolerances within 0.00005”, we have the ability to fulfill virtually any requirements you may have for your project. Our expertise and knowledge means our staff can help you select the dimensions that will provide the best fit for the space as well as the usage.
Fabrication and Machining
Our fabrication capabilities include laser and waterjet cutting, as well as stamping, wire EDM, 3D industrial printing, and CNC machining. With our experience, we can ensure that your shims are cut and formed to precise specifications. We use advanced techniques that prevent burrs on thin sheets, provide properly finished edges, and ensure protection from corrosion after fabrication. Our team also can help you select the correct material and thickness early in your design process so you can avoid costly rework.

Bronze
Precision 510 Phosphor Bronze Shim Stock Rolls for High-Performance Needs
510 Bronze Shim Stock Rolls deliver dependable precision for manufacturing teams that prioritize accuracy and repeatability. This phosphor bronze alloy combines copper, tin and phosphorus to create a material that resists wear and fatigue even in high-stress environments. It’s trusted by machinists and engineers who need precision shims capable of maintaining tight tolerances under pressure.
The alloy’s high fatigue resistance, spring temper and corrosion protection make it an ideal fit for industrial equipment, metalworking tools and electrical systems that depend on consistent performance. Compared to steel or aluminum shims, bronze shim stock offers a non-magnetic, low-friction surface that maintains stability and conductivity without oxidizing quickly, making it suitable for electrical, automotive and aerospace fabrication.
Formats and Specifications of 510 Shim Stock Rolls
Trinity Brand manufactures and supplies bronze shim stock rolls in multiple formats for both small-scale fabrication and high-volume industrial production. Available thicknesses range from .005″ to .040″, providing flexibility for applications requiring fine adjustment or robust structural support. Roll widths start at six inches, while standard lengths extend from 50 to 100 inches, offering material efficiency for cutting or punching. Each roll can be customized to specific dimensions or tolerances to meet design requirements.
Engineers often select roll length and bronze thickness based on application type, considering that thinner shims allow for minute calibration while thicker materials support mechanical stability. Trinity Brand’s bronze shim stock specifications meet ASTM B103/B103M standards, guaranteeing consistency in industrial shims across sectors. For customers managing frequent prototyping or production runs, the availability of certified, traceable inventory helps make sure that every piece meets critical quality metrics.
Applications of 510 Phosphor Bronze Shim Stock Rolls
510 phosphor bronze stands out for its versatility across industries that demand high fatigue strength and resistance to wear. These bronze shim stock rolls are widely used in motors, switches, gaskets, bearings and precision tools that require stability under vibration or heat. In machining bronze environments, they offer predictable behavior during cutting and forming, helping maintain equipment calibration and extending tool life. They’re also used in industrial bronze solutions where conductive, yet corrosion-resistant materials are needed, such as electrical contacts, connectors and pressure-sensitive assemblies.
For custom bronze shims used in prototyping or high-end fabrication, this material allows manufacturers to achieve tight fits and low deflection rates. Its balance of hardness and ductility supports reliability across electronic, marine and defense applications where minor variations can affect long-term performance.
