The difference between copper and brass

1. Appearance color

Brass: Light golden yellow, shiny.

Copper: Rose red, shiny.

2, composition

Copper: The content of copper reached 99.9%.

Brass: about 60% copper; About 40% zinc; Individual grades contain about 1% lead, there are impurities.

3, the intensity

Brass: Higher.

Copper: Lower.

4, density and use of different

The density of brass (8.93g/cm3) is used for mechanical bearing lining and abrasion resistance. Brass castings are commonly used to make valves and pipe fittings. Common brass is widely used, such as water tank belts, water supply and drainage pipes, MEDALS, bellows, serpentine pipes, condensing pipes, shell casings and various shapes of complex flushing products, hardware, etc.

Red copper. Pure copper, also known as red copper, density (7.83g/cm3}, melting point 1083 degrees, non-magnetic. Good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, toughness.

5, conductivity difference

Brass: Lower.

Copper: higher.

6, corrosion resistance difference

Brass: Poor.

Copper: Better.

7, cutting performance difference

Brass: Better.

Copper: Poor.
