General Description

Brass is an alloy composed primarily of copper and zinc, with small amounts of other elements such as lead, iron, aluminum, and silicon. The exact composition of brass can vary depending on its intended use, with different types of brass containing different ratios of copper and zinc. The addition of other elements can also affect the physical and chemical properties of brass, such as its color, strength, and corrosion resistance. Brass is commonly used in various applications, including for musical instruments, jewelry, plumbing fixtures, and decorative elements, due to its attractive appearance, malleability, and durability.
