Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zincDifferent varieties of this metal can be created depending on the proportion of its composition, as well as different properties. Brass is produced when copper is fused with calamine, a zinc ore. In the melting process, the zinc is extracted from the calamine and mixed with the copper. Other materials may also be added. It has a colour similar to gold.

Types of brass

Depending on the percentage of zinc it contains, there are three main groups of brass

  • First titre: zinc 34%.
  • Second grade: zinc between 33%-44%.
  • Third grade: more than 42%. Not recommended for industrial use.

As far as ordinary brass is concerned, three groups can be distinguished:

  • Red brasses (between 10%-20% Zinc): One of these brasses is the one used in jewellery as it resembles gold.
  • Yellow brasses (between 25%-35% Zinc): these are brasses for springs, cartridges, ammunition…
  •  Alpha + beta brass (between 36%-42% Zinc): it is less ductile than the two previous ones and is not cold rolled, but hot worked.

Brass recycling

The manufacture of primary brass has a high economic value as it is an alloy of copper and zinc. Moreover, if it could be recycled, it would be an unnecessary waste of raw materials. Brass manufacturers use scrap brass to manufacture their products. The recycling of this material is simple as it does not need the electro-refining process like other materials. To obtain recycled brass with the same properties as the original, you only need to melt the brass scrap as long as it is clean of other waste.
