Red brass is a copper zinc alloy with nominal composition of 85 percent copper, 15 percent zinc, with some traces of iron and lead. Unlike other brasses which are yellow in color, red brass has a warm, rich tone. It may come in b... Read More...
Brass is actually a combination of two metals: copper and zinc. Composition of brass can vary anywhere between 95 to 55 percent copper (5 to 45 percent zinc). If brass is not lacquered, the metal gets exposed to air which causes ... Read More...

Brass resistant to corrosion in many media. Brasses are particularly susceptible to corrosion by solutions containing ammonia or amines. Alloys with more than about 15% of zinc may suffer dezincification, which leaves a weak,... Read More...
Brass 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. They are used for th... Read More...
