Brass is an alloy that consists of copper and zinc. It is one of the most diverse metals available, making it a useful alloy for a variety of applications. Brass is roughly 28% conductive, which means it thrives in cold environments. While brass is both strong and durable in cold settings, it is important to note that dezincification can occur. Dezincification is the process of removing zinc from an alloy and leaving behind a copper-rich structure with very little mechanical strength. Brass can crack in the event that dezincification occurs.
