Brass is a copper-based alloy containing between 5 and 50% zinc, to which small amounts of other elements may be added to produce specific properties. The greater the zinc content, the more yellow the colour of the brass.
Owing to the perceived superiority of bronze over brass, some brasses have been called bronzes, for example, manganese bronze and architectural bronze.
