what makes up brass
Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties.It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure.rass has higher malleability than bronze or zinc. The relatively low melting point of brass (900 to 940 Â°C, 1652 to 1724 Â°F, depending on composition) and its flow characteristics make it a relatively easy material to cast.
