Brass is a metal alloy of copper and zinc, and its varieties can change according to the formulation used. It has been used for years as an important material for many plumbing applications. Brass is widely used for manufacturing accessories, furniture, and lighting.Continue Reading
If you are looking for brass or bronze materials, you may be taking a closer look at the different types of metal on the market. There are two types of metal, ferrous and non-ferrous. Ferrous metal contains iron while non-ferrous does not.Continue Reading
For the past years, more people are making use of light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, in lighting not only homes, but also commercial properties and buildings. Bright yet cost- and energy-efficient, LEDs have been giving light everywhere. Now, recent research suggests that these efficient lights can shine even brighter with copper and brass.Continue Reading
Copper is a valuable chemical element that is also known as a precious metal. It is most commonly known for being used in the production of pennies and architectural designs, but its unique elements also make it popular for use in electric wiring and electronics, telecommunications, air conditioning systems, refrigeration systems and more. It is...Continue Reading
Considering brass tube for your next project? With so many forms of structural metal out there to consider, figuring out whether a particular alloy or shape will do what you need it to can be difficult. So as you consider brass square tube, make sure you take these four core strengths into account:Continue Reading
Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zinc, sometimes including lead for increased machinability. It is the alloy of choice for a wide range of applications, especially in architecture, manufacturing, and design. Brass comes in many forms, the most commonly used varieties of which include sheets and channels.Continue Reading
When looking at bronze bars or bronze sheets, it can be difficult to assess whether you’re looking at the ideal material for your current project. Characteristics such as malleability, corrosion resistance, appearance, durability, and others can vary wildly among different alloys of bronze, and more so when other metals such as brass or steel are...Continue Reading
The red-brown brass known as Muntz Metal is a copper alloy of sixty percent copper and forty percent zinc with trace amounts of iron. It’s named after British manufacturer Edward Muntz, the developer of this combination. Muntz brass is extremely strong and must be worked hot. It’s very effective for castings, extrusions, and hot forming.Continue Reading
The use of copper as an adornment is an ancient practice that comes to modern designers and architects from the Greeks and Romans. Through the creation of alloys such as bronze and brass, the beauty of copper can be combined with the structural strength of other metals to create sheet metal panels and square tube....Continue Reading
