Brass is the term used for alloys of copper and zinc in a solid solution. Typically it is more than 50% copper and from 5 to 20% zincBrasses and other Copper-Zinc Alloys, Copper Development Association, London, England. Publication No.6, , in comparison to bronze which is principally an alloy of copper and tin.Machinery Handbook, Industrial Press Inc, New York, Edition 24, page 501. Despite this distinction, some types of brasses are called bronzes.
Brass has a yellow colour, somewhat similar to gold. It is relatively resistant to tarnishing, and is often used as decoration.
Brass has been known to man since prehistoric times, long before zinc itself was discovered. It was produced by melting copper together with calamine, a zinc ore. During this process, the zinc is extracted from the calamine and instantly mixes with the copper. Pure zinc, on the other hand, is too reactive to have been produced by ancient metalworking techniques.
