Brass in Sheet Metal Fabrication Brass is essentially an alloy of copper and a small amount of zinc. It is strong, corrosion-resistant, and has excellent electrical conductivity. Due to its properties, brass sheet metal fabricated parts are suited for electrical applications. Brass sheet metal is relatively strong and provides a high level of corrosion resistance. [...]
Composition of Common Brass Alloys Brass is a metal alloy that is always made with a combination of copper and zinc. By varying the amount of copper and zinc, brass can be made harder or softer. Other metals—such as aluminum, lead, and arsenic—may be used as alloying agents to improve machinability and corrosion resistance. How [...]
Brass Alloys and Their Applications Brass is a general term for a set of copper-zinc alloys that may include additional metals such as lead. Different types of brass have different properties, but all brass is strong, machinable, tough, conductive, and corrosion resistant. This along with beauty and ease of production make brass one of the [...]
