Is brass harder than silver?

Yes, brass is generally harder than silver. Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc, which gives it increased hardness compared to pure silver. Silver is a soft metal that is more malleable and ductile than brass.


What color is not common in receptacle terminal brass silver green black?

The color green is not commonly used for receptacle terminal screws. Brass and silver are typical colors for the screws, while black is often used for the insulating coating of the screw.


What is EP brass?

"EP brass" typically refers to electroplated brass, which is a process where a thin layer of brass is deposited onto another material using electrolysis. This technique is used to enhance the appearance of the base material and provide additional protective properties.


How effective is brass a conductor of electricity?

It isn't. In terms of volume, silver is best, followed by copper, then aluminum. Aluminum is 2X better conductivity by weight than anything else. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and their proportions can be varied to create different brasses. So if you wanted to make brass highly electrically conductive, you would add a lot of copper and silver to it. There is a common brass known as "electrical brass" that is commonly used for electrical conductor parts, and it's chief virtues are that it can be worked easily and is not expensive.


10 example of good conductors of eletricity?

Water, Gold, Silver, Copper, Zinc, Aluminum, Steel, Nickel, Cobalt, Brass. Most metals have relatively good electric conductivity but these are some of the most commonly used.

Why is it gold cannot mix with brass and silver?

Gold cannot mix with brass and silver because they have different chemical properties and compositions. Mixing gold with brass or silver would result in an alloy with compromised quality and characteristics. Additionally, the components in gold, brass, and silver have different melting points and densities, making it difficult for them to mix homogeneously.


How is the different of sound quality produced by brass instrument made of yellow brass-red brass-gold brass-and nickel silver?

Yellow brass tends to be the brightest and warmest, red or 'rose' brass tends to be more mellow, and nickel silver tends to have the harshest (but not necessarily bad) sound of the three. It all depends on the player though, rose brass can be bright if the player wants it to be.
