Copper alloys for mechanical applications
Brass and bronze
Brass and bronze are copper alloys known for their different properties and uses. Brass, made mainly of copper and zinc, stands out for its ductility, malleability and corrosion resistance. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, is valued for its hardness, wear resistance and low friction.

What it is
Definition and industrial context.
Recycling them ensures these valuable materials go back into the production cycle efficiently: it reduces the need to mine copper and other primary metals and cuts the environmental impact of producing new alloys.
