Brass

Brass is usually the first-choice material for many of the components for equipment made in the general, electrical and all precision engineering industries. Brass is specified because of the unique combination of properties that make it indispensable where a long, cost-effective service life is required. This combination is matched by no other material.

Only in the last millennium has brass been appreciated as an engineering alloy. With the coming of the industrial revolution, the production of brass became even more important. Initially Brass was little used except where its golden color was required. The Greeks knew brass as 'oreichalcos', a brilliant and white copper.
