Most basically, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while aluminum is a pure element.
aluminum is alot softer, ive had no issues with AL.
The biggest difference between bronze and brass is the density, mass, and weight. Bronze and brass are also made of different metals.
stainless is steel. aluminum is aluminum
Even though brass is a copper alloy, generally made up of about 95% copper and 5% zinc, copper is a softer metal. Copper has a higher heat capacity though, meaning than brass heats up more quickly than copper.
Nickel is magnetic.
Yes, brass is generally harder than aluminum due to its higher copper content. Brass is also more resistant to corrosion and has better machinability compared to aluminum.
7075 is stronger than 6061 aluminum.
what are difference similarities between aluminun foil and block woods
trombones have a slide but the rest of the brass are very similar but with likely keys or valves
different molecular construction
The advantage to brass over aluminum is the wear and oxidation rates. Not really the conduction when new
What kind of brass in what form? The density of the aluminum also matters, so it could scratch if both materials were slightly thick. The aluminum would have to be a little flimsier than the brass.
