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.
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.
stainless is steel. aluminum is aluminum
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.
Nickel is magnetic.
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 SI Unit of density is kg/m3 it is calculated by mass / volume The density of steel usually ranges between 7750 and 8050 kg/m3 The density of brass is usually between 8400 and 8730 kg/m3 The density of copper is 8940 kg/m3 at room temperature The density of aluminum is 2700 kg/m3 at room temperature So the most dense is copper, followed by brass, followed by steel, followed by aluminum
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.
