Brass vs. Bronze: What’s the Difference?

Brass (Copper-Zinc) is preferred for its low cost and excellent machinability, ideal for general and decorative parts. Its main weakness is lower strength and corrosion resistance. Bronze (Copper-Tin) is chosen for superior strength, hardness, and durability, especially in marine and heavy-load applications (bearings, gears), despite being significantly more expensive and harder to manufacture.
