63/37 Brass which is also known as Common Brass and Yellow Brass.

63/37 Brasses are copper zinc alloys with a

wide range of engineering uses. The addition of zinc to copper raises the strength and gives a range of properties,
and the brasses are a very versatile range of materials. They are used for their strength, corrosion resistance,
appearance and colour, and ease of working and joining. The single phase alpha brasses, containing up to about
37% zinc, are very ductile and easy to cold work, weld and braze. The dual phase alpha-beta brasses are usually
hot worked.

Brasses are resistant to corrosion in many media.

63/37 Brass is widely used in Radiator Tanks and Cores, Flashlight Shells, Lamp Fixtures, Fastenerslocks, Hinges,
Pins, Rivets, Buttons, Plumbing Accessories.
