I-Brass yi-alloy yobhedu ene-zinc njengeyona nto idibanisayo, enombala omhle otyheli kwaye ngokudibeneyo ibizwa ngokuba lubhedu.I-alloy ye-binary ye-copper-zinc ibizwa ngokuba lubhedu oluqhelekileyo okanye ubhedu olulula.Ubhedu olungaphezulu kweeyuan ezintathu lubizwa ngokuba lubhedu olukhethekileyo okanye ubhedu oluntsonkothileyo.Iialloyi zobhedu eziqulethe ngaphantsi kwe-36% ye-zinc zenziwe ngesisombululo esiqinileyo kwaye zineempawu ezilungileyo zokusebenza ezibandayo.Umzekelo, ubhedu oluqulathe i-30% ye-zinc luhlala lusetyenziselwa ukwenza i-bullet casings, eyaziwa njenge-bullet casing brass okanye i-7-three brass.I-alloys ye-Brass kunye nomxholo we-zinc phakathi kwe-36 kunye ne-42% iqulunqwe kunye nesisombululo esiqinileyo, apho eyona nto isetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo i-6-4 yobhedu enomxholo we-zinc we-40%.Ukuze kuphuculwe iipropati zobhedu oluqhelekileyo, ezinye izinto zihlala zongezwa, ezifana ne-aluminium, i-nickel, i-manganese, i-tin, i-silicon, i-lead, njl. ngoko ke ifanelekile kwimibhobho yecondenser ehamba elwandle kunye nezinye iindawo ezikwaziyo ukumelana nomhlwa.I-Tin inokuphucula amandla obhedu kunye nokumelana nokubola kumanzi olwandle, ngoko ibizwa ngokuba yi-naval brass kwaye isetyenziselwa izixhobo ezishushu kunye neepropellers.Ilothe iphucula ukusebenza kobhedu;olu bhedu olusikiwe lwasimahla luhlala lusetyenziswa kwiindawo zokubukela.Iintsimbi zobhedu zihlala zisetyenziselwa ukwenza iivalve kunye nokufakwa kwemibhobho, njl.

Ibronzi ekuqaleni ibhekisa kwialloys zethusi-tin, kwaye kamva iialloyi zobhedu ngaphandle kobhedu kunye necupronickel zibizwa ngokuba yibronze, kwaye zihlala zinikwa igama leyona nto iphambili eyongeziweyo phambi kwegama lobhedu.Ibronzi yenkcenkce ineempawu zokuphosa ezilungileyo, iipropathi zokunqanda ukukhuhlane kunye neempawu ezilungileyo zemishini, kwaye ifanelekile ukwenza iibheringi, iigiya zeentshulube, iigiya, njalo njalo.Ubhedu lwe-aluminiyam lunamandla amakhulu, ukumelana nokunxiba kakuhle kunye nokumelana nokugqwala, kwaye isetyenziselwa ukuphosa iigiya ezinomthwalo omkhulu, i-bushings, i-propellers zaselwandle, njl njl. imithombo kunye nezinto zoqhagamshelwano zombane.I-beryllium bronze ikwasetyenziselwa ukwenza izixhobo ezingatshisi ezisetyenziswa kwimigodi yamalahle kunye neendawo zokugcina ioyile.
