Brass is an alloy of Material:Copper and Material:Zink. Like with Material:Steel the its physical properties change with proportion of the mixture. It is easy to machine and "stronger" than Material:Aluminum. Due to its high Material:Copper content it conducts heat and electricity quite well. The downside is the price which makes it unappealing for bigger parts.
