Brass is the product of copper and varying levels of zinc, a
higher percentage of zinc will result in a stronger, more ductile brass. Phosphor bronze is the

The composition of
both alloys depends on the particular use. For instance, Cartridge brass contained
30% zinc and was used to make cartridges for firearms. Eating

stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, brass and bronze. All of these
metals are safe for cooking and eating use, though copper, brass and bronze
require careful use and are best avoided in certain situations.
