Copper vs. brass: what actually separates these two metals when you're choosing for a build

Post Copy

Copper and brass look related and are, but they are not the same material for every job.

Copper offers the best conductivity and corrosion resistance of the two, making it the standard for electrical and plumbing work. Brass, a copper and zinc alloy, trades some conductivity for greater strength and easier machining, which is why it shows up so often in fittings, valves, gears, and hardware.

Both materials are in stock at our Marietta location in multiple shapes and sizes, cut to order for fabricators, contractors, and hobbyists throughout Northwest Atlanta, including Kennesaw, Roswell, and Sandy Springs. Our knowledgeable team can help identify which material fits a specific application.
