Brass is an alloy generally made from Copper and Zinc. Copper is a malleable and ductile metallic element that is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity as well as being corrosion resistant and antimicrobial. The ability to conduct electricity and heat are two of the most important properties of copper. When alloyed with other metals, it acquires additional properties including increased hardness, tensile strength and improved corrosion resistance. Brass and Bronze are two of the most important alloys of copper. Copper and brass are the materials of choice for plumbing, taps, valves and fittings for their aesthetic appeals. Owing to its corrosion resistance in varied types of environment, zinc is used for protecting steel by way of galvanizing.
Recycling brass helps to conserve natural resources by reducing the need to mine and extract new metals. Recycling also reduces energy consumption, as it takes less energy to recycle brass than it does to produce new brass. Additionally, recycling brass helps to minimize the environmental impact of mining and processing new metals, as well as reducing waste in landfills. Brass is used in a wide range of applications which include: – Plumbing fixtures and fittings such as valves, faucets, sanitary and other plumbing components; – Electrical connectors and terminals such as electrical connectors, terminals, and switches; – Decorative objects such as sculptures, ornaments and doorknobs; and – Mechanical components such as gears, bearings, and bushings.
