Attributed to Aert van Tricht, Limburg (Netherlands), c. 1500. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve different colours and mechanical, electrical, acoustic and chemical properties, [1] but copper typically has the larger proportion, generally 66% copper and 34% zinc.

Brass, alloy of copper and zinc, of historical and enduring importance because of its hardness and workability. The earliest brass, called calamine brass, dates to Neolithic times; it was probably made by reduction of mixtures of zinc ores and copper ores. Learn more about brass in this article.
Jan 30, 2020 · Brass Properties. Brass often has a bright gold appearance, 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. Brass has higher malleability than either bronze or zinc.
Aug 27, 2023 · This versatile alloy, made from copper and zinc, has a rich history and countless applications. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the different types of brass, their unique properties, and how they shape our everyday lives. From musical instruments to industrial components, brass plays a vital role in various fields.
Apr 8, 2021 · Modern brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc. However, there are types of brass with copper ranging between 55% and 95% by weight, with zinc ranging between 45% and 5%. Some types of brass contain around 2% lead. Lead improves brass machinability, but the toxic metal readily leaches from the alloy.
Aug 30, 2008 · Brasses are copper zinc alloys with a wide range of engineering uses. The addition of zinc to copper raises the strength and gives a range of properties, and the brasses are a very versatile range of materials.
Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc. Product form: Flat bar, Sheet / Plate, Round rod, Suqare rod and Hex bar.
The main component of brass is copper. The amount of copper varies between 55% and 95% by weight depending on the type of brass and its intended use. Brasses containing a high percentage of copper are made from electrically refined copper that is at least 99.3% pure to minimize the amount of other materials.
Oct 4, 2023 · Alpha Brass: Alpha brass, also known as low brass, contains a higher proportion of copper (approximately 65-70%) and a lower proportion of zinc (around 30-35%). It is the most ductile type of brass, making it easy to shape and form. Alpha brass is often used for decorative applications and electrical connectors.
