Special Alloys

Brass is made of the metals copper and zinc combined. The proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brass alloys with varying properties. Brass has a number of properties that make its use ideal for a variety of applications. Copper is a highly valued metal due to its electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, ductility, malleability, and recyclability. As such, it is used in a wide range of industrial applications.
