The coeifficent of expansion per degree can be found in the manufacturers charts
The joint doesn't prevent expansion and contraction but it limits the damage caused by thermal stress. It allows room for the concrete ( or steel ) to expand and contract without creating the severe cracks that would form without them.

Yes
Brass, aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, wood, Bakelite, plastic and other materials have all been used to make door handles. The mechanism is usually made from brass, steel or stainless steel.
to allow for expansion and contraction
Linear Temperature Expansion Coefficient (10-6 in/in oF) Brass = 10.4 Steel = 7.3 Therefore brass will expand or contract more steel.
A bimetallic strip is typically made up of two different metals bonded together with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Common combinations include brass and steel or copper and steel. When exposed to temperature changes, these metals expand at different rates, causing the strip to bend.
The two metals commonly used in a bimetallic strip are steel and copper. These metals have different coefficients of thermal expansion, causing the strip to bend when heated or cooled due to the uneven expansion and contraction of the metals.

No, steel is generally heavier than brass. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with a density greater than that of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Steel is stronger.

You can mark or slightly dent steel with a brass punch, but the steel is always going to win.
An example; if the metal bar, made up of 2 steel and brass strips, is heated the strips will also heat up. Each material’s coefficient of thermal expansion varies, which indicates how much a material is affected by heat. :Steel has lesser coefficient of thermal expansion than brass. While warming the bar, the brass strip elongates more than the steel strip because of a higher coefficient of its thermal expansion. When the two strips are attached one next to another, the expansion at the two ends differs and this bends the bar. The brass strip expands more than the steel strip will hence exert force on the steel strip and expands it outwards. This creates a bend in the bar, the brass strip moves out more than the steel strip as shown in Fig. When the bar will be cold, strips will also contract and bar will go back to the first position and so on. However, heating and bending the bar can cause significant stresses in the material including deformations that can lead to prolonged changes within the properties of the material and failure over time.
The method to separate steel nails from brass screws is called magnetic separation. Since steel is magnetic while brass is not, a magnet can be used to attract and separate the steel nails from the brass screws.
