Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure.
The alloy we call brass is made up of copper and zinc. The proportions vary as the type of brass we wish to make. The ratio of copper to zinc can be 2:1 or 3:1 or can vary from there. Use the link below to check facts and learn more about the different brass alloys we use.
