OT quick question

Is brass an alloy of copper and tin or copper and nickel? Cause I know one of those is brass and one is bronze but I forget which is which.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc (mainly)

Bronze is a combination of copper and tin.

All the Best,

Believe it or not, many copper-nickel alloys are called “nickel silver,” which doesn’t generally have any silver in it.
