Copper and Zinc are melted down to liquid state. Then the two metals are combined in some difficult to explain process. When the liquid metal cools, the alloy Brass is formed.

Is it okay to connect copper pipe to brass to galvanized to brass and back to copper or will it cause a reaction that will corrode the pipes?

If you do connect copper pipe to galvanized pipe, you will need a dielectric coupling or else the galvanized pipe will corrode. Same with connecting galvanized pipe to brass fittings. Brass is an alloy that contains copper and therefore the same electrolytic properties will exist unless a dielectric coupling is used. Hope that helps you out.


What brass compression fitting is used for 14 copper tube to 38 polyethylene tubing?

38 polyethylene piping does not exist.


Is copper pure metal or alloy?

An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements where the main component is metal. Copper is a pure metal. Alloys are useful because most pure metals are too soft, brittle, or reactive for practical use.


Can solutions exist as solids?

Yes, solutions can exist as solids. Solid solutions occur when two or more substances are mixed together and form a solid homogeneous mixture. Examples include alloys like brass (copper and zinc) and steel (iron and carbon).


What does a alloy contain?

An alloy is a metal that has been mixed with another metal. Aluminum alloys could contain zinc, copper, or silicon (not limited to). Gold alloys can contain copper or silver. Aluminum alloy is created to be stronger and more corrosion resistant than plain aluminum. Gold alloy is created to be cheaper. Many more alloys exist.


What is the value of a 1967 US Quarter without the copper filling?

The coin could not exist without the "copper filling". If you do not see the copper line on the edge of the coin it only means that the Nickel alloy has been "smeared" over it as the machine stamped out the blank planchet.


When was brass invented?

Do you mean the metal, brass, or the kinds of musical instruments called brass? The first metal alloy that was a kind of brass was probably invented about 5000 years ago. We don't have any way of knowing an exact year. For brass musical instruments, the early Romans and Greeks had musical instruments made of brass, more than 2000 years ago. Again, we don't have any way to know an exact year.


Phase diagram of aluminium copper alloy?

The phase diagram of an aluminum-copper alloy typically shows two phases: a solid solution phase (α-phase) and a eutectic phase (θ-phase). As the temperature decreases, the α-phase solidifies first, followed by the eutectic reaction where both phases form simultaneously. The diagram helps in understanding the temperature and composition ranges where different phases exist in the alloy.


How do you know if a penny is copper or bronze?

The easy way is by the date. 1909 to 1958 (except the 1943 steel coins) are bronze. 1959 to 1981 are a copper alloy that technically is not bronze. 1982 was the transition year from a copper alloy to the zinc cents we now have. Coins of both compositions exist only for 1982 dated coins. 1983 to date are zinc.

Compounds can exist in liquids solids or gases?

Covalent.. A+


Are all solution always liquid?

No, not all solutions are liquid. Solutions can exist in various states of matter, including solid, liquid, and gas. For example, a common solid solution is brass, which is a mixture of copper and zinc.
