Description

260 Brass has fair to excellent corrosion resistance. Excellent cold workability; good hot formability. Brass alloys are copper zinc alloys which makes these alloys stronger and more durable than copper alloys. Alloys with high zinc levels are yellowish in color while those with less zinc start to turn reddish in color, and are sometimes called red brass.
