TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

Basic Knowledge of Brass

What is Brass Material?

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc in varying proportions, typically ranging from 5% to 45% zinc content. The exact composition influences the properties of the brass, such as color, hardness, and machinability. The alloy may also contain small amounts of other elements like lead or tin.

Properties of brass include a distinctive yellow or reddish-gold color, malleability, and corrosion resistance. The metal is valued for its workability and versatility. It is commonly used to produce musical instruments, decorative items, plumbing fixtures, electrical components, and ammunition casings.

Different types of brass, such as red brass, naval brass, and admiralty brass, have specific compositions made for specific uses. The alloy is not just corrosion resistant, but it also has aesthetic appeal.
