The brass is a substitutional alloy and is used for decoration with their bright gold like appearance and also in the making of locks, gear, bearings , doorknobs, ammunition and valves. It is extensively used for the plumbing and electrical applications and also in the musical instruments for the bells and horns and is known for its acoustic purposes. The brass is used in zippers and also in the applications of fittings and tools and also in the making of coin for its tarnish resistance and its stability.

The copper which is present in the brass makes them germicidal and this effect is made most effective by their used in the hospitals. Aluminium is a silvery white element. Aluminium is available in varieties like aluminium bronze, aluminium silicon bronze, manganese bronze, phosphorous bronze and gun metal. The aluminium is moulded into various forms and shapes like in round, hexagonal, square, rods, tubes, sheets, strips, foils, busbars, plates, flats, wire, tubings, sections and bushes. Aluminium is one of the most abundant metal found on earth's crust and is the third most important element next to oxygen and silicon. Aluminium is remarkable for the low density of the metal and is resistant to corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Aluminium is essential for the aerospace industry and also in transportation and structural materials. Aluminium is 100% recyclable and hence they are widely used non ferrous metal. They have a high strength to weight ratio which helps in its application in the manufacturing of the vital components of rockets and aircrafts. Aluminium is used in household in the form of utensils which are highly durable and easy to maintain. It is used in the making of guitars which gives them a distinct sound. The use and application of brass and aluminium are numerous. The high stability and durability it offers to the products it is made of makes them the most significant and important metals of all.
