Brass is a versatile alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, with varying proportions of these elements to achieve different properties. The addition of zinc to copper enhances its strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. Brass is produced through casting, extrusion, or rolling processes, where copper and zinc are melted together and poured into molds to form ingots or sheets, which are then shaped into the desired components. Brass is commonly used in applications like plumbing fittings, musical instruments, electrical connectors, decorative items, and mechanical components such as gears, bearings, and locks due to its ability to be easily machined and its attractive appearance.

The advantages of brass include its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly against water, and its relatively low friction, making it ideal for moving parts like gears and bearings. It also has good electrical conductivity, making it useful in electronics and electrical components. Additionally, brass has an appealing yellowish-gold color, making it a popular choice for decorative applications. However, brass has some disadvantages: its strength is generally lower than that of other metals like steel, and it can become brittle if exposed to stress or high temperatures over time. Moreover, brass can tarnish and lose its luster over time unless properly maintained, and it is more expensive than some other metals like steel or aluminum. Despite these limitations, brass remains a widely used alloy due to its workability, durability, and aesthetic qualities.
