Answer / Anuj Kumar Singh

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy with varying amounts of zinc. The most common types include red brass (25-30% Zn), yellow brass (30-40% Zn), and naval brass (40-60% Zn). Brass can be heat-treated to achieve different properties, such as through annealing, precipitation hardening, or solution treatment followed by aging. The melting point of brass depends on its composition but typically ranges from 750°C (1382°F) for red brass to 950°C (1742°F) for naval brass.
