Brass fasteners are components made from Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, which offers several advantages over other metals:

Corrosion Resistance: Brass is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in marine environments or applications where exposure to moisture or chemicals is common.

Ductility: Brass is a relatively soft and malleable metal, allowing for easy shaping and forming into various fastener types.

Conductivity: Brass has good electrical and thermal conductivity, making it useful in applications where these properties are important.

Common types of brass fasteners include:

Screws: These have a threaded shaft and a head for driving. They are available in various styles, such as pan head, flat head, and round head.

Bolts: Similar to screws, but typically have a larger diameter and a nut is used to secure them.

Nuts: Threaded fasteners that mate with bolts to create a secure connection.

Washers: Flat, ring-shaped components that distribute the load of a fastener and prevent it from damaging the underlying material.

Brass fasteners are used in a wide range of applications,including:

Marine hardware: Due to their corrosion resistance, brass fasteners are commonly used in boats, ships, and other marine structures.

Plumbing: Brass fittings and valves are widely used in plumbing systems.

Electrical applications: Brass is used in electrical connectors and terminals due to its conductivity.

Decorative hardware: Brass fasteners can add a touch of elegance to furniture, lighting fixtures, and other decorative items.

Industrial machinery: Brass fasteners are used in various industrial applications where corrosion resistance and durability are important.
