Question

What are the constituents of brass

Answer 1

Brass is a metallic alloy that is made of copper and zinc. The proportions of zincand copper can vary to create different types of brass alloys with varying mechanical and electrical properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure.

Answer 2

Answer:

What are the constituents of brass.

Explanation:

• Brass is the alloy of copper and zinc. That is Cu and Zn.
• It is in the proportions which can be vary to achieve various mechanical, electrical and chemical properties.
• The main components of the brass includes the copper and zinc, the percent of copper and zinc in the brass are 60 to 85 % and 15- 40% respectively.
• The properties of brass are- its is more malleable than copper and zinc. It is not hard as the steel, It is corrosion resistant.
• Brass is used for making musical instruments, it is also used in decorations, it is used for making low friction applications such as locks and valves. It is also used around explosive.

Hence, copper and zinc are constituents of brass.
