    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass

    An example of DZR brass is the C352 brass, with about 30% zinc, 61–63% copper, 1.7–2.8% lead, and 0.02–0.15% arsenic. The lead and arsenic significantly suppress the zinc loss. [20] "Red brasses", a family of alloys with high copper proportion and generally less than 15% zinc, are more resistant to zinc loss.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze

    Bronze is a better conductor of heat and electricity than most steels. The cost of copper-base alloys is generally higher than that of steels but lower than that of nickel-base alloys. Bronzes are typically ductile alloys, considerably less brittle than cast iron.

  5. Hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness

    Deformation in the plastic range is non-linear, and is described by the stress-strain curve. This response produces the observed properties of scratch and indentation hardness, as described and measured in materials science. Some materials exhibit both elasticity and viscosity when undergoing plastic deformation; this is called viscoelasticity.

  6. Bismuth bronze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth_bronze

    Bismuth bronze or bismuth brass is a copper alloy which typically contains 1-3% bismuth by weight, although some alloys contain over 6% Bi. This bronze alloy is very corrosion -resistant, a property which makes it suitable for use in environments such as the ocean.
