Red Brass

Red brass, commonly known as red brass or sometimes as gunmetal, is a type of copper alloy that typically consists of copper and zinc with trace amounts of other elements like tin or lead. It's known for its attractive reddish color, which can darken to a brownish hue upon oxidation, giving it a distinctive appearance. Red brass offers a good balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and workability, making it a popular choice for applications that require forming or machining, such as decorative items, musical instruments, and some components in the marine and plumbing industries. Its aesthetics and durability also contribute to its popularity in the production of coins and medals.
