Are brass and bronze compatible?

Yes, they are both copper alloys


Which describes the difference between the copper alloys bronze and brass?

Brass= 60%copper + 40%zinc. Bronze = 80%copper+20%Tin. The words "brass" and "bronze" are often used interchangeably, but they are very different metals. Both are alloys and both contain a lot of copper - but that is where the similarities end. Comparatively, brass is a very soft metal. For example, it is used for plumbing fixtures because it is easy to work with and easily tooled. Brass is not as hard as bronze. Brass is also prone to corrosion, so most plumbing fixtures are coated with another metal such as chrome to make it more durable. You will find that a brass bell does not sound as pure as a bronze bell. Brass bells have kind of a "clangy" or "brassy" sound to them. Bronze on the other hand is very hard and can last forever. In fact, there are several grades of bronze. A type called admiralty bronze was used for cannons and is used for propellers on boats.

What is in the chemicals to make copper?

NONE copper is an element and contains only copper - alloys (mixtures of copper combined with other metals) such as brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) both look different and cause the alloys of copper to have different characteristics


How is a brass determined using a periodic table?
