Brass vs Stainless Steel

DON&#;T BE FOOLED BY BRASS PLATING

After production, brass items are either left raw, lacquered, or plated. Not all brass products are what they seem, however. While solid brass is pure brass and nothing else, some products may not be solid brass, but brass-plated. In this case, the item is composed of brass on the outside, but not on the inside. Brass-plating typically means that the product is made out of zinc or steel, but has a thin layer of brass on the exterior, and it is then finished with a lacquer to maintain its color and protect its brass shell. While brass-plated items may look just as good as solid brass when new, they break or wear easily and lose their luster.

IS STAINLESS STEEL BETTER THAN BRASS?

Like brass, stainless steel is also an alloy, composed of iron, carbon, and chromium. This composition leads stainless steel to have great strength too, but a much different appearance than brass. It is a strong and functional metal, but lacks the visual appeal of solid brass. Stainless steel&#;s strength and corrosion-resistance make it well-suited for tools and industrial uses, such as appliances, surgical uses, and machinery.
