BRASS WIRE CLOTH

   
  Brass (80% copper, 20% zinc) has much better abrasion resistance, better corrosion resistance and lower electrical conductivity when compared to copper.
The tensile properties of brass screen is higher than those of copper with some sacrifice in formability.
     Brass has a muted yellow color, somewhat similar to gold. Brass will usually maintain its bright finish over time, will not darken with age as does copper.
