260 Cartridge Brass - Hard vs Half Hard
(OP)
My supplier is out of 260 Cartridge Brass - Hard Temper which is being used to manufacture flat washers. Can somebody advise me, if the half hard temper which is readily available be used as a replacement?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

BE CAUTIOUS: bearing [crushing] strength of a washer is an important mechanical feature. IF understrength [low yield/crush], then joint will likely loosen in-service!
