Brass
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The proportions of copper and zinc can vary to create different grades of brass with different properties. Brass is known for its corrosion resistance, conductivity, and toughness
Common Types:
Cartridge-Brass (Yellow Brass) - Muntz Metal - Leaded Brass
Free-Machining Brass - Admirality Brass - Naval Brass - Green Dot Brass
Bronze
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin that's often used for tools, machinery, and sculptures. It's harder and stronger than copper, and it resists corrosion.
Common Types:
Aluminum Bronze - Nickel Aluminum Bronze - Aluminum Silcon Bronze
Manganese Bronze - Eco Bronze - Tin Bronze
Leaded-Tin Bronze (Bearing Bronze) - Toughmet Nickel Bronze
Copper
Copper is a reddish-brown metal known for its excellent electrical conductivity, making it a critical component in electronics and electrical systems, including those used in artificial intelligence (AI) technology; essentially, copper is vital for connecting different parts of computer chips and powering the data centers that run AI algorithms due to its ability to efficiently transmit electricity
Common Types:
Tellurium Copper - Beryllium Copper - Chromium Copper
Oxygen-Free (OFHC) - Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP)
Deoxidized High Phosphorus (DHP)
Copper Nickel
"Copper nickel" refers to an alloy made primarily of copper and nickel, also known as "cupronickel," which is widely used in marine applications due to its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion and ability to resist fouling growth; it's often used in pipes, heat exchangers, and ship hulls because of these properties.
Common Types:
C70600 Copper Nickel (90/10)
C71500 Copper Nickel (70/30)
C72900 Toughmet Copper Nickel Tin
