What makes Brass a valuable metal?
BRASS
- Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc with combination of some unique properties. It possesses qualities that are alluring and attractive with its sparkling, gold-like finish. It makes homes, hotels, offices, restaurants and showrooms very attractive.
- There are also many usages that it provides to the rest of the world. Perhaps, the primary reason for this is the beauty that it holds as it adorns various types of interior spaces from living rooms to bathroom.
- The amount of zinc in it varies from five to forty five percent to create a range of brasses, each with unique properties. Those with less than 35 per cent zinc are known as alpha brasses. Those with more than 35 per cent are called alpha beta or duplex alloys and are ideal for hot working.
- Unlike plastic, it is unaffected for all practical purposes by extended exposure to nuclear environment. It produces no harm or hazardous chemical by products.
- The majority of music instruments are made of brass metals. The military still uses the bugle made from brass sheet in ceremonies such as "taps" during flag retreats to signal the end of the day.
- The arts and crafts industry uses its sheets to make decorative pots, vases, bowls, and many other items. Their sheets are often required in designing and assembling trophies, elevators' exteriors and interiors, wall panels, and lettered and numbered architectural decorative applications.
- Both residential and commercial spaces are benefitted from its uses. For example, brass tubing is commonly seen on stair railings, foot rails and hand rails.
- Its finish is very classy and you may have actually used this in your office of work space as well as in your commercial buildings.
- More often than not, brass sparkles the interest of many people due to its stylish beauty that can be used either in the personal or professional setting.
