Brass-Brass is an alloy made primarily of Copper and Zinc. The proportions of the copper and zinc are varied to yield many different kinds of brass. Basic modern brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc. However, the amount of copper may range from 55% to 95% by weight, with the amount of zinc varying from Read More
Copper-Native copper is an element and a mineral. It is found in the oxidized zones of copper deposits; in hydrothermal veins; in the cavities of basalt that have been in contact with hydrothermal solutions; and as pore fillings and replacements in conglomerates that have been in contact with hydrothermal solutions. Copper is a chemical element with Read More
Phosphorus Bronze-Phosphor bronze is a copper alloy containing both tin and phosphorus. It’s a highly-valuable, specialty metal with many positive attributes. Here are the properties and characteristics that make phosphor bronze a sought-after alloy. Phosphor bronze is an alloy of copper with 0.5–11% of tin and 0.01–0.35% phosphorus. The tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of the Read More
Nickel Silver-Nickel silvers are copper alloys with additions of zinc and nickel. Their special blend of mechanical properties, physical properties and performance characteristics depend on the relative proportions of the three elements. Their attractive colour varies from pale gold to silvery white. Nickel silver, Maillechort, German silver, Argentan, new silver, nickel brass, albata, alpacca, is a copper alloy with nickel and often Read More
Non Ferrous Metal Scrap-Non-ferrous metals have been used since the Copper Age, around 5,000 B.C. Since non-ferrous metals don’t contain iron, they’re usually more corrosion-resistant than ferrous metals. Some examples of non-ferrous metals are aluminum, aluminum alloys, and copper, which are often used in industrial applications such as gutters, roofing, pipes, and electrical. Non-ferrous metals also include brass, Read More
