Brass: An Introduction

A metal alloy made of copper and zinc, brass has excellent electrical conductivity and is easy to machinate. In addition to its low friction properties and gold-like appearance, brass is also commonly used in the architecture sector as well as the manufacture of gears, locks, pipe fittings, musical instruments, and more.
