What is brass?
Brass materials are alloy combinations consisting of zinc and copper. Stronger than pure copper materials, brass exhibits many of the physical properties of pure copper, including being relatively malleable for easy forming in a variety of manufacturing processes. Brass is corrosion resistant, has lead–free alloys, is an inherently antimicrobial material, and a good conductor of electricity and heat, making it a popular choice in both the electric and plumbing industries.
There are various forms of stock brass available for purchase depending on the final product. The letter ‘C’ (which stands for copper) is assigned to all brass alloy materials, followed by a five digit numerical value to provide manufacturers and suppliers additional information on the product specifics. A five digit number starting with a one through seven signifies wrought brass material capable of being formed, forged or machined. Numerical designations that begin with an eight or nine are assigned to materials which are cast. When choosing the right brass material for use, it is important to consider these factors as well as the specific material composition, weight, length, width and shape.
