Brass Properties

Since brass is a copper alloy, it exhibits various properties that are characteristic of copper. Despite this, brass does have some unique properties that set it apart from pure copper and other copper alloys. These include the following:

Brass is non-ferromagnetic, meaning it’s easier to process for recycling.

It has a high melting point of roughly 900°C; however, the exact melting point differs depending on the concentration of the various metals in the alloy.

It is especially formable and malleable, particularly when compared to bronze.

It is susceptible to developing stress cracks since it’s stiffer and stronger than pure copper.

The unique properties of brass mean that it’s applied in various ways, predominantly within the mechanical and decorative industries. For instance, brass is often used in the following ways:
