What is brass?

Brass is a copper alloy consisting mainly of copper and zinc. The material is known for its golden color, good corrosion resistance, and excellent workability.

Thanks to its combination of strength, durability, and aesthetics, brass is used in a wide range of sectors, from architecture and interior design to mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.  

At Roba Metals, we supply brass in various grades and finishes, tailored to your specific application. Thanks to our extensive stock and customization options, we can deliver quickly and reliably, both in standard sizes and in customer-specific dimensions. 

Applications of brass

Thanks to the versatility of the material, brass can be used in countless sectors and products, including: 

  • Construction and architecture for facade cladding, decorative elements, and fittings 
  • Interior design for furniture, lighting, and ornaments 
  • Mechanical engineering for precision parts, slide bearings, and couplings 
  • Electrical engineering for connectors, terminals, and switches 
  • Sanitary ware for taps, fittings, and pipe components 
  • Door fittings for hinges and locks
