BRASS

Brasses are copper based alloys, often defined as copper-zinc alloys (although some copper-zinc alloys are commonly called by the name bronze). In general, brass alloys exhibit good to excellent corrosion resistance and high thermal conductivity and very high electrical conductivity. Brass typically has a low coefficient of friction. Applications include architectural uses, condenser/heat exchangers, plumbing, radiator cores, musical instruments, locks, fasteners, hinges, ammunition components, and electrical connectors.
