Answer 1

Answer:

metal

Brasses - the generic term for a range of copper-zinc alloys Brass is the generic term for a range of copper-zinc alloys with differing combinations of properties, including strength, machinability, ductility, wear-resistance, hardness, colour, electrical and thermal conductivity, hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Answer 2

Answer:

Corrosion resistant. Brittle, hard, resists fatigue. Usually a slightly higher melting point than brass. Musical instruments, plumbing, decoration, low-friction applications (e.g., valves, locks), tools and fittings used around explosives.
