    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

brass

Metal alloy of copper and zinc, with not more than 5% or 6% of other metals. The zinc content ranges from 20% to 45%, and the colour of brass varies accordingly from coppery to whitish yellow. Brasses are characterized by the ease with which they may be shaped and machined; they are strong and ductile, resist many forms of corrosion, and are used for electrical fittings, ammunition cases, screws, household fittings, and ornaments.

Brasses are usually classed into those that can be worked cold (up to 25% zinc) and those that are better worked hot (about 40% zinc).

The new firm is also researching some other innovative ideas in bullet construction, such as true inner-belted softnoses with a soldered belt cut from thick-walled copper tubing inside the jacket, and full-metal-cased bullets jacketed in annealed cartridge brass (in contrast to the steel, gilding metal, or copper casings of conventional "solids").
