Red Brass

Red brass, sometimes called red metal (ruĝa metalo in Ehrdean), is an alloy made of copper, zinc, tin and trace amounts of other elements that vary by region. Its traditional composition is 85% copper, 10% zinc, and 5% tin but other proporations are not uncommon. Red brass is strong, durable, pliable, and resistant to corrosion.
Differing alloying techniques and material proportions often leads to a wide range in the quality and color of brass from region to region.
