The metals silver, copper and nickel are elements. It is brass that is an alloy, and copper and zinc are what make it up.

What is the difference between nickel and brass?

German nickel or nickel silver is an alloy that contains nickel, zinc and copper. That makes it a type of brass which is an alloy of copper and zinc. Pure nickel is an element, not an alloy.

How do tell the difference between brass and nickel?

Brass is a yellow-colored alloy made from copper and zinc, while nickel is a silver-colored metal with a slight blue tint. Brass tends to have a warmer tone and is less shiny than nickel. You can differentiate between the two by comparing their color, shine, and possibly using a magnet (nickel is magnetic, while brass is not).


What is the alloy of copper and brass?

Brass is the alloy of copper and zinc.


Is sterling silver the best heat conductor out of copper sterling silver brass aluminum and silver?

No, sterling silver is an alloy containing copper to make the metal stronger. Thermal (and electrical) conductivity is highest to lowest as follows: Silver, sterling silver, copper, aluminum, then brass. The latter is an alloy of copper and zinc.


Is brass nonmetal or a copper?

Brass is an alloy made by combining copper with zinc. It is not a nonmetal; it is a metallic alloy.


Are trombones copper?

Trombones commonly contain copper, since they are typically made from brass. Brass is an alloy, made of copper and zinc - mostly copper. Most all trombones plated in nickel, black nickel, silver or gold are still brass underneath. FYI: "Gold brass" is an uninformed way of referring to yellow brass, a common alloy composition of 67% copper and 33% zinc, and is not actually gold. Additionally, some trombone bells have a red color. This just means that there is more copper in the brass composition, more like 85% copper, 15% zinc. This redder color is often referred to as "Rose Brass" or "Red Brass". Although, true red brass is not brass, but what is known as gunmetal, an alloy that contains copper, zinc, tin & lead. BTW: Bronze and brass are similar, as they both contain copper. However, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, instead of copper and zinc.


What two metals compose the alloy brass?

Zinc and Copper Copper and zinc make up the mixture (alloy) brass.


What elements are used to make brass?

Brass is made primarily of copper (which makes up about 60-90% of the alloy) and zinc (which makes up about 10-40% of the alloy). Small amounts of other elements such as lead, aluminum, and silicon may also be added to improve the properties of the brass.


What is the difference between iron nickel steel and cobalt from brass bronze aluminum tin silver gold and copper?

Iron nickel steel is an alloy primarily made of iron, nickel, and carbon, known for its strength and durability. Cobalt is a hard, magnetic metal often used in alloys for high-temperature and high-strength applications. Brass and bronze are copper alloys, with brass being a combination of copper and zinc, while bronze is a combination of copper and tin. Aluminum is a lightweight metal used in various applications due to its corrosion resistance and strength-to-weight ratio. Tin, silver, gold, and copper are pure metals that are used in various industries due to their unique properties.
