    Islamic Golden Age brass astrolabe Brass lectern with an eagle. Attributed to Aert van Tricht, Limburg (Netherlands), c. 1500.. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve different colours and mechanical, electrical, acoustic and chemical properties, [1] but copper typically has the larger proportion, generally 66% copper and 34% zinc.

  3. Tumbaga - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbaga

    Tumbaga is an alloy composed mostly of gold and copper. It has a significantly lower melting point than gold or copper alone [citation needed]. It is harder than copper, but maintains malleability after being pounded. Tumbaga can be treated with a carboxylic acid, such as oxalic acid, to dissolve copper off the surface. What remains is a shiny ...

  4. List of copper alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_copper_alloys

    Copper alloys are metal alloys that have copper as their principal component. They have high resistance against corrosion . Of the large number of different types, the best known traditional types are bronze , where tin is a significant addition, and brass , using zinc instead.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenical_bronze

    Sulfide deposits frequently are a mix of different metal sulfides, such as copper, zinc, silver, arsenic, mercury, iron and other metals. (Sphalerite (ZnS with more or less iron), for example, is not uncommon in copper sulfide deposits, and the metal smelted would be brass, which is both harder and more durable than copper.) The metals could ...

    It is isostructural with Si 3 N 4 and was predicted to be harder than diamond. [35] The calculated bond length was 1.47 Å, 5% shorter than the C-C bond length in diamond. Later calculations indicated that the shear modulus is 60% of that of diamond, and carbon nitride is less hard than c-BN.

  8. Rockwell hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_hardness_test

    The depth of penetration from the zero datum is measured, on which a harder material gives a lower measure. That is, the penetration depth and hardness are inversely proportional. The Rockwell test does not use any optical equipment to measure the hardness indention, rather all calculations are done within the machine to measure the indention ...

  9. Muntz metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntz_metal

    Muntz metal (also known as yellow metal [1]) is an alpha-beta brass alloy composed of approximately 60% copper, 40% zinc and a trace of iron. It is named after George Fredrick Muntz, a metal-roller of Birmingham, England, who commercialised the alloy following his patent of 1832. [2] [3]
