Brass
Brass is a copper-zinc alloy.
Because of its bright gold appearance, brass is widely used in the production of decoration materials.
The brass, which is a non-magnetic alloy, can be cast easily. Moreover, it does not require surface finishing in most cases. The brass alloy has the following characteristics: low melting point, good malleability, high corrosion resistance, and low coefficient of friction.
Features & Applications
Features
- As an easy to form metal, it preserves its high strength while forming it into desired shapes.
