Brass

Brass is an alloy composed primarily of copper and zinc, known for its excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and attractive gold-like appearance. The specific properties of brass can vary significantly based on the proportions of copper and zinc, as well as the addition of other elements such as lead, aluminum, or tin, which can enhance characteristics. Brass is widely used in various applications, including plumbing fittings, electrical connectors, and musical instruments, due to its ability to resist tarnishing and provide good thermal and electrical conductivity. Its malleability allows for intricate designs and shapes, making it a popular choice in decorative applications.
