WHAT IS BRASS?
Brass is a material composed of mainly copper and zinc; however, other elements can be added to enhance its properties as needed. The addition of tin, manganese, aluminum, silicon, and lead makes various types of brass ideal for specific applications. Overall, brass is a highly malleable metal that can be easily formed, turned, brazed, and fabricated. Based on its composition, brass alloys can offer good strength, ductility, durability, resistance to corrosion, and high heat and wear resistance. The machinability of brass reduces tooling costs and cuts down on cycle times, making it more cost-effective and sustainable.
