Why brass stronger than copper?

Answers (1)

Brass is an alloy of  copper and zinc. Zinc has an even lower melting point (420°C) and is able to form mixed crystals with copper. By combining copper with zinc, an alloy is formed, which is harder than copper, but still has very good working properties.
