hi .i love it . my e-mail is michael90210 AT hotmail DOT com



It will be good idea if some one add something related to mechanical properties of brass like compressive and tensile yield stresses.

Thank you

Sarvesh S.S.

Good article. I'd like to see a section addressing the most common and/or most important uses of brass in industry today. Also, a section breaking down the most important centers of brass production (assuming there are any). Just a suggestion. Thanks.

[edit] Brass vs. Bronze

This article seems to imply that, while some brasses are called "bronze", this is incorrect:

Some types of brass are called bronzes, despite their high zinc content.

On the other hand, the bronze article indicates that "bronze" is a general term for copper alloys, and therefore includes brass:

brass, a subset of the bronze alloys in which zinc is the principal additive

I am not qualified to judge which of these is correct, but they seem to contradict each other.

Note: This issue has been resolved - the bronze article has been reworded (a subset of copper alloys) to resolve this. Spenny 08:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Lead- With all the RoHS initiatives underway in the electronics industry, the question came up- is there ever lead in brass, or bronze? No indication in the article. Thanks- Doug

[edit] Brass VS Bronze cost

Dear editor,

Is there an appreciable difference in cost for Brass as compared to Bronze? What would be the basic difference? Is there a "rule of thumb" when it comes to pricing one verse the other e.g. a standard ratio?

Thanks

[edit] Brass Chemicla composition and his impact on Mechanical Properties.

Can some address the relationship of composition of Brass to Mechanical properties. Chemincal properties

Cu Zn Pb AL Si Sn Fe and othrers

and what would be the impact on mechanincal properties? Mechanical properties. Hardness Tensile Strength UTS Elongation Etc..

Or can some body tell me the source?

[edit] Uses

Asside from decorative uses such as doorknobs, why is brass used? For example, it seems to me that brass bushings and valves are common. —BenFrantzDale 20:43, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

hi, nice . love it lol.

Probably a lot has to do with that it looks like gold (not exactly, but close) and is a hell of a lot cheaper.--CB319 04:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Friction

It also might be mentioned friction for a brass on brass contact is low as metal-to-metal contacts go.
