I am not sure you can buy brass wire for hobby purposes. You can, however buy copper wire or wire coated to look like brass(gold), silver or antique bronze from the craft shelves of places like The Warehouse or Spotlight
he uses mid steel wire and various gauges and brass sheets and copper sheets and copper meshes.
The brass trumbone sounded terrible.
an oiled cloth.........if any dark powder residue showing use a BRASS wire brush to remove dark spots................
its easier and quicker for the zinc in the brass to react with the hydrochloric acid.
Brass and steel are compatible, Otherwise we could NOT use brass valves with steel piping.
Firstly, ensure the item you want to clean, is actually brass. If it isn’t brass, you could end up tarnishing it rather than cleaning. The easiest way to check is to see if a magnet sticks to it. If it’s real brass, the magnet will not stick. If it does stick – do some further investigating and don’t clean it until you’re sure of the metal. Don’t use anything too abrasive on your brass, if you choose to use wire wool, it will need to be a very fine grade. You could end up scratching the surface and causing damage. Try using cotton wool or a soft cleaning cloth to do the dirty work and use another soft cleaning or polishing cloth to get a bit of gleam on your item. visit kernowfurniture.co.uk/blogs/news/how-to-clean-antique-brass for more detail.
Brass instruments do not have reeds, some woodwind instruments do.
It is used as a hot wire. <<>> In a three conductor cable set the third wire colour is red. In home wiring a three wire cable is used in a couple of locations. If the circuit involves a three way switching circuit, the cable between the two light junction boxes is fed with a three wire cable. Check the Internet for three way lighting connections. The other location a three wire cable is used is in split circuitry. Your kitchen counter receptacles use this method of wiring. The tie bar in the receptacle is removed on the hot (brass colour) side of the receptacle and the red wire is connected to the top brass screw and the black wire is then connected to the bottom brass screw of the receptacle. The white wire, as always, is connected to the silver coloured screw of the receptacle. Another example of using a three wire cable is to take two circuits from the distribution panel to two separate circuits on the other side of the house instead of running two, two wire circuits. The three wire cable is terminated in a junction box and two two wire circuits are feed from this junction box to the circuits that require power. The two two wire circuits will use the white wire of the three wire cable as a common neutral.
The brass screw is for the hot connection, usually the black wire.; sometimes a red one. The silver colored screw is for the white wire or neutral. If there is a green screw, it's for the ground, usually a bare wire but may also be green.
Aluminium wire has produced problems due to unequal expansion/contraction at the brass or copper terminals and long-term surface oxidation. For that reason copper is recommended and there is usually no good reason not to use copper (of the correct gauge for the current).
Brass players use mutes to dampen the sound of their instruments.
You can use 8.5 as Brass density and work out the weight
