Description

Brass

Brass is an alloy metal that is made primarily of copper and zinc. Brass is often bright gold; however, it can also be reddish-gold or silvery-white. A higher percentage of copper yields a rosy tone, while more zinc makes the alloy appear silver. And the properties of brass also varies with the proportions of copper to zinc. Basic modern brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc. However, the amount of copper may range from 55% to 95% by weight. The basic properties of brass are as follows:

  • Low friction
  • Low melting point
  • Good thermal conductivity
  • Easy to cast
  • Anti-corrosion (including galvanic corrosion from saltwater)
  • Higher malleability than either bronze or zinc
  • A soft metal that may be used in cases when a low chance of sparking is necessary
