Brass are alloys of Copper and Zinc. They also contain small amounts of other alloying elements to impart advantageous properties. Brass have high corrosion resistance and high tensile strength. They are also suited to fabrication by hot forging. Free machining grades of brass set the standard for machining by which other metals are compared.Brass is one of the most-used materials in the world. The term brass generally applies to alloys of copper where the main alloying ingredient beside copper is zinc. Other alloys of copper where the main alloying ingredient is tin are usually referred to as bronze.

Brass is generally known for several things - decent strength and electrical conductivity, it can be polished easily, and there seems to be a brass for just about every application. With few exceptions, most notably C230 Red Brass and C770 Nickel Silver, materials in this category generally are yellow in color. Brass is the term used for alloys of copper and zinc in a solid solution. Brass has a yellow color, somewhat similar to gold and is resistant to tarnishing.

Brass is the generic term for a range of copper-zinc alloys with differing combinations of properties, including strength, machinability, ductility, wear-resistance, hardness, colour, antimicrobial, electrical and thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Brass set the standard are available in a very wide variety of product form and sizes to allow minimum machining to finished dimension. Brass does not become brittle at low temperature like mild steel. Brass also has excellent thermal conductivity making it a first choice for heat exchanger. Its electrical conductivity ranges from 23 to 44% that of pure copper.
