Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc known for its gold-like color and good machinability. It is corrosion resistant (though less than Stainless Steel in harsh conditions) and has good electrical and thermal conductivity. It does not spark, which is important in explosive environments.
Brass is a versatile alloy of copper and zinc. It is known for its gold-like color and good machinability.
We normally supply CuZn39Pb3 (Ms58) due to its excellent machinability, but other alloys are possible on request.
No, brass is generally softer and less strong than steel or stainless steel. It is chosen for specific properties such as conductivity or corrosion resistance.
Brass does not rust like steel (red rust), but can oxidize (green tarnish) and dezincify in certain environments.
