Yellow Brass

Yellow brass, sometimes called yellow metal (flava metalo in Ehrdean), is an alloy made of copper, zinc, and trace amounts of other elements that vary by region. Its traditional composition is 66% copper and 34% zinc, but other proporations are not uncommon. Yellow brass is strong, durable, pliable, and resistant to corrosion. Because of its bright golden color, yellow brass is often used in adornments as a substitute for gold.
Differing alloying techniques and the variablity of zinc often leads to a wide range in the quality and color of brass from region to region.
