Brass is an alloy mainly composed of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). Other components of this alloy are lead (Pb) and arsenic (As).Stamping brasses can be divided into standard brasses and dezincification-proof brasses (DZR/ADZ).Stamping alloys comply to specific European regulations. Here following, in the table, you can find an example of the main features of their chemical compositions.
