Brass is the generic term for a range of copper-zinc alloys with different combinations of properties, including strength, hardness, color,
ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity, and corrosion-resistance. Brasses have a range of attractive colors ranging from red to yellow
to gold to silver making it a excellent choice of material for ornamental items such as bookmarks, holiday ornaments and keepsakes.
Brass, with its corrosion-resistant qualities can be used in marine applications as well.
