Composed of alloy 260 (70% copper & 30% zinc) yellow brass, our Soft Brass Wire is popular for craft and jewelry applications. In addition to round, we also stock a few sizes of square and half round shapes. Our RED brass wire is composed of alloy 230 (85% copper & 15% zinc) giving it a more golden color than the traditional yellow brass. Brass wire in different tempers, alloys and shapes may be available on special order.
