because brass is generally tarnish resisant so it does not discolours easily and also because brass is not such expensive as copper
<<>>
The pins are make of brass because it is a harder metal than copper and will wear better through use over its lifetime.
possibly because copper is more expensive.
some electrical prongs are just coated. Copper is too soft and the prongs would bend and become a hazard. Plus copper is more costly.
Brass is adequately conductive for electricity, and physically stronger than copper would be. [And cheaper as well]
Brass is harder wearing, so will not alter its shape. However, the copper is the better electrical conductor.
The typical household plug is made from pins: brass reason: cheap, wear and corrosion resistant and a good conductor (not compared to gold/silver/plat/copper) process: forging/casting (not sure) housing: ABS or PVC reason: cheap, easy to colour, corrosion resistant, easy to clean, hard wearing made process: injection molding.
Depends if it is a cap or a plug or no hub or a brass /lead plug
Its done with a fame or torch, you heat the copper to a almost cherry red glow, (caution, you don't want it red, if it just starts to glow, "stop" that where you just annealed copper. but the more you shape it after your annealing process it will harden up again, not due to cooling but due to your shaping it
This plug is a pin and sleeve 250 volt three phase four wire device. It is rated at 100 amps. A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 130 amps.
Different pin configurations define different configurations of voltage and amperage. Your receptacle could be a three phase four wire grounding receptacle. To see more go to related linksbelow.
Brass is used for the manufacture of plug pins for the following reasons. It is a good electrical conductor and is cheaper than other materials such as copper. It is a hard alloy material, therefore it is very wear resistant and will not wear or mark easily. Furthermore, Brass is corosion resistant and will not tarnish easily. Brass is also stiff and therefore will not bend easily when inserted in to the socket.
The plug in pins on most processors are made of gold plated aluminum.

Well, if it has 2 male pins, then it is a EU (European) plug. If it has 3 male pins, it is a UK plug.
Copper is a very conductive metal and also ductile.
3 pins plug
Probably because brass is generally tarnish resistant /doesn't discolour so easily Although brass is not as conductive as silver, copper, and aluminum it is less expensive to make and generally easier to work with.
Not normally, the pins are in a different configuration.
Steel or brass freeze plugs are the best ones,rubber freeze plugs are just for temporary
A plug with 3 pins which can be inserted into the original UK plug.
Plastic does not conduct electricity.
Need to know voltage and type of plug to answer this question.
