Brass Wire

These copper alloys contain zinc as the principal alloying element with or without other designated elements such as iron, aluminum, nickel and silicon. Most brass wires have 62-65 percent copper for products such as pin wire, screw wire, nipple wire, riveting wire, etc. Higher copper content alloys, such as 70:30 brass, possess greater ductility and better corrosion resistance, and are used for large-headed rivets, woven wire, etc.
