Applications
Brass, copper, and bronze are suitable for a wide range of industries depending on the specific alloy employed and its conductivity, corrosion resistance, and machinability.
Hardness
Cold working such as rolling and drawing of a metal increases its hardness.
Malleability
The presence of copper makes these metals highly malleable.
Conductivity
Copper is known for its high level of heat and electrical conductivity. This makes it ideal in applications that require conduction in high temperature environments.
Strength
Brass metals that contain high levels of zinc are strong and ductile.
