COPPER has some favorable corrosion resistant properties, but its relatively low tensile strength and high ductility limit its application and a Copper alloy is therefore usually preferred for wire cloth. Commercial or Pure Copper is sometimes used for its electrical properties.
BRASS, Tyler Special Composition Brass (Cu 85%, Zn 15%) wire cloth is the preferred Brass alloy for applications where non-rusting material is needed but COMMON BRONZE is a higher copper alloy (Cu 90%, Zn 10%) used in cases where a little better corrosion resistance is required than that of Brass.
