Brass Most Useful Alloy.

Brass is perhaps the best known and pnost useful alloy. It is formed by fusing together copper and zinc. Diff ferent proportions of these metals pro duce brasses possessing marked dis tinctiye properties. The proportions of the different ingredients are seldom precisely alike; these depend upon the requirements of various uses for which the alloys are intended. Peculiar quail ities of the constituent metals also ex- ercise influence on the results.
