Denoted by international standards as Copper Alloy 356, brass is recognized in many industries for its multitude of functions. It is comprised of about 62% copper, 36% zinc, and smaller amounts of lead. Unlike other metals, brass exhibits a rich brown hue that makes it an ideal material for decorations and more.
Where Brass Is Used

For crafters who are skilled at engraving brass, this metal is often added onto medals, plaques, trophies, and name plates. Even with simple hand tools, one can easily etch designs onto the metal.
