Brass

Brass is a metal alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, known for its bright gold-like appearance, excellent machinability, and corrosion resistance. Its properties vary depending on the ratio of copper to zinc, with some types offering greater strength while others provide improved ductility. Brass is widely used in applications such as musical instruments, plumbing fittings, decorative items, and electrical components due to its aesthetic appeal, antimicrobial properties, and good conductivity. It also resists tarnishing and is easy to cast or shape.
