BRASS

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, with low conductivity, non-magnetic and corrosion resistant properties. It is malleable and often sets the standard for machinability. Brass also has a low melting point which makes it relatively easy to cast. These factors make brass ideal for manufacturing fixings and other intricate parts. Unlike mild steel, brass does not become brittle at low temperatures. However, brass does tend to be more expensive than other finishes.
