Linear Temperature Expansion Coefficient (10-6 in/in oF)
Brass = 10.4
Steel = 7.3
Therefore brass will expand or contract more steel.

Steel is stronger and more flexible than iron.
Is a diamond stronger than steel?
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
Why do we not use rubber in young modulus experiment of elasticity?
Contrary to popular expectation, rubber is not really elastic, atleast not the way scientists define elasticity. Rubber is actually much less elastic than steel. Thus for best results we use steel or similar materials, say brass, in this experiment.
Why do liquids expand on heating more than solids?
The answer is a lot more simple than you may imagine, it is simply because the atoms and molecules in liquids havd more freedom to move about than in solids
Is brass heavier than steel?
brass is heavier than steel. brass is 4.199857lbs. and steel is only 3.8636lbs. hih.
Does cast iron expand more than steel?
NO.
Would brass or iron expand in a bimetallic strip?
brass Brass expands more for the same temperature change than iron! SOURCE: ILSS 8(school book)
Do brass or steel hinges last longer?
Brass hinges last longer than steel hinges.
What is brass a example of?
Brass and steel are examples of alloys, meaning they're made up of more than one metal.
What expands quicker aluminium or aluminium bronze?
Yes...brass expands more than iron because brass is a mixture of metal which would expand more when heated..while iron is one metal which is harder to be able to expand. :)
Is copper cheaper than stainless steel?
Yes, brass is cheaper than copper.
Is steel rod stronger in torsion v than brass rod?
Yes
In a corrosive environment where a conductive metal is required is brass or stainless steel better?
Brass has better conduction than stainless steel. being roughly 65 percent copper which is one of the best conductors (thermal and electrical)
What is harder brass or bronze?
Bronze is not stronger than steel, broze was developed around 3500 BC and steel much latter, both are alloys.
Why are firearm cartridges made from brass?
Not all firearm cartridges are. Some casings are made from steel or aluminum. Brass is used because it is a soft metal, and established a tight seating and seal in the chamber. Additionally, soft metals such as brass put less wear on chambers and extractors than aluminum or steel. Brass is also desirable for those who handload, since brass casings can be used for reloading.
Is a brass doornob made out of iron or aluminum or copper?
Brass door knobs are made up out of an alloy of metals such as aluminium, copper and iron. The main component would be copper. (by the way you spelt door knob wrong) brass doorknobs before 1940 were brass or bronze an alloy of copper and zinc and tin newer things in a store will be steel with a plating unless you pay about $200 for them Aluminum is soft more expensive than steel and hard to plate. Ive also seen them in plastic with metal plating. the easiest way to tell is with a magnet. it will stick to steel.
