Choosing The Right Red Metal

Red metals are a category of non-ferrous metals that possess a reddish color and include copper, brass, bronze, and their alloys. Whether you are an artist, a jewelry designer, a construction professional, or simply someone who loves the unique look and feel of red metals, you will find everything you need on OnlineMetals.com!

Copper

Copper is a reddish-brown, ductile and malleable metal that has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, and is highly resistant to corrosion. It is commonly used in electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, and as a component in various alloys, such as brass and bronze, due to its excellent strength and durability. Copper is also used in various industrial applications, including electronics, construction, and transportation, and has been used for decorative purposes throughout history.

Popular Alloys Include: 110, 101, 122, & 145

Brass

Brass is a yellowish alloy of copper and zinc that has excellent strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making it a popular material for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in musical instruments, decorative hardware, plumbing fixtures, and electrical components. Brass is also used in various industrial applications, including marine equipment, valves, and pumps, due to its resistance to saltwater corrosion.

Popular Alloys Include: 260, 360, 385, & 464

Bronze

Bronze is a reddish-brown alloy of copper and tin, with other metals such as aluminum, manganese, and zinc often added to enhance its properties. It is a strong and durable material that is resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in marine applications, such as shipbuilding, as well as in sculpture, medals, and coins. Bronze is also commonly used in bearings, gears, and other machine parts, as well as in musical instruments, due to its excellent resonance and tonal qualities.

Popular Alloys Include: 220, 863, 932, & 954

Beryllium Copper

Beryllium copper is a copper alloy that contains a small amount of beryllium, which enhances its strength, hardness, and conductivity. It is often used in high-performance applications that require exceptional strength and durability, such as aerospace and defense industries, where it is used for springs, electrical contacts, and bearings. Beryllium copper is also used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, such as oil drilling equipment and power generation.

Popular Alloys Include: 172, 173, & MoldMax

“Their website was intuitive and very easy to navigate. I also appreciated the option to cut to size the brass angle piece to fit my interior trim corners. I’m also very happy to support American businesses” - John W
