Brass

Brass is an alloy made primarily of copper and zinc. The proportions of the copper and zinc are varied to yield many different kinds of brass. Lead is commonly added to brass at a concentration of around 2%. The lead addition improves the machinability of brass. However, significant lead leaching often occurs, even in brass that contains a relatively low overall concentration of lead. Uses of brass include musical instruments, cartridge casing, radiators, architectural trim, pipes and tubing, screws, and decorative items. 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 is a soft metal that may be used in cases when a low chance of sparking is necessary. Brass is not ferromagnetic. Among other things, this makes it easier to separate from other metals for recycling. You can purchase from us quality brass.
