Brass fasteners are made from an alloy of copper and zinc, offering a combination of durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Brass is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it does not contain iron and, therefore, will not rust. This makes brass fasteners ideal for applications where both functionality and appearance are important. Brass is commonly used in environments where resistance to tarnishing and corrosion is necessary, such as marine settings, plumbing, and electrical applications.
