Which year was brass invented?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. Although forms of brass have been in use since prehistory, its true nature as a copper-zinc alloy was not understood until the post medieval period because the zinc vapor which reacted with copper to make brass was not recognized as a metal. The King James Bible makes many references to "brass". The Shakespearean English form of the word 'brass' can mean any bronze alloy, or copper, rather than the strict modern definition of brass. The earliest brasses may have been natural alloys made by smelting zinc-rich copper ores.

Can you use brass as a dialectric union between copper and black iron pipe?
No, brass cannot be used as a dielectric union between copper and black iron pipe. Dielectric unions are typically made of materials that are not electrically conductive, such as plastic or rubber. Brass is a conductive material and would not provide insulation against galvanic corrosion between copper and black iron pipe.

Additionally, some trombone bells have a red color. This just means that there is more copper in the brass composition, more like 85% copper, 15% zinc. This redder color is often referred to as "Rose Brass" or "Red Brass". Although, true red brass is not brass, but what is known as gunmetal, an alloy that contains copper, zinc, tin & lead. BTW: Bronze and brass are similar, as they both contain copper. However, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, instead of copper and zinc.
