By international standards, copper sheets are given the name Alloy C110, and it is sometimes denoted as electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) copper. This is the purest form of copper in the market, with a composition of 99.9% of the element. Among the most notable properties of this metal is its high thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, ductility, and extreme resistance to stress.
Alloy C272, also called yellow brass, is a metal that exhibits properties that fit just about any industry. Chemically, the composition of yellow brass is approximately 63.5% copper plus 39.5% zinc. While it offers the same attractive sheen as gold, the material is more robust and not as expensive, thus making it versatile for a multitude of projects. Alloy C272 can be sold in the form of square brass tubing, as well as other cross-section shapes like hexagons, rectangles, and the traditional round tube.
Brass sheet metal can be found in nearly every aspect of the home. For builders, renovators, and designers, brass has become a viable option compared to pure copper or bronze, as it is just as resilient, but at a more affordable price.
