Brass is a metal alloy
Gold, definitely. How about fixing this question as to what type of "brass" There is Yellow brass 60% Copper 40% Zinc and the more common red brass 85% copper and 15% Zinc then there is Muntz metal and Bronze thus BRASS = COPPER as there is NO gold content in "Brass"
Brass is shiny under certain conditions. If the brass is polished or cleaned the right way it will result in a shiny appearance.
Are the joints brazed or soldered? What diameter is the tubing? When you say copper are you asking type K, L ,M , DWV , M or TP
Yes, brass can be welded using various methods such as oxyacetylene welding, TIG welding, and brazing. The specific welding technique used will depend on the thickness of the brass and the desired strength of the weld.
It is NOT Better as RED Brass is 85% copper 15% Zinc and Yellow brass is 60% copper and 40% Zinc and over time the yellow brass becomes brittle because of dezincification. A piping system is only as strong as its weakest joint and BRASS is normally threaded thus the wall thickness is severly reduced, copper tubing Type K, L soldered or brazed are much stronger then threaded brass and Brazed brass piping is stronger but normally cost prohibitive to the average building owner.

Red Brass piping schedule 40 with TP copper fittings and brazed joints Ans 2 - PEX piping with brass fittings is far more long lasting and cheaper to install than any copper - ( the above answer could only be from a plumbing company trying to drum up business )
Certainly, it is frequently done with silver, brass, and bronze brazing alloys. Brazing steel tubes used to be the predominate method of manufacturing bicycle frames, and some high-end ones are still made that way.
Certainly look up Flagg Flow T.P Fittings T.P thread-less copper fittings will FIT on schedule 40/80 /120 Brass pipe Ideally it should be brazed but soldering will hold domestic water pressures Also many solder fittings ARE CAST BRASS rather then wrought copper
No, once steel has been brazed, the brazed joint cannot be removed without damaging the base metal. The brazing material becomes metallurgically bonded to the steel during the brazing process. If the brazed joint needs to be removed, the only way is to cut or grind it off, which will alter the original piece.
Yes
Welded, brazed or soldered.
Red Brass = 85 % copper /15 % zincYellow Brass = 60% Copper 40 % ZincCopper TP is threadless pipe diameterCopper tubing Type K / L/ MSo what is tyhe application and working pressure?BEST application would be Brass (RED) and brazed joints with TP fittingsI would tend to agree but only if the brass has been DZR (dezinctified) treated, otherwise use copper.ONLY "Yellow BRASS" is subjected to dezinication as the 40% zinc causes piping failures as the pipe becomes more brittle over time
Brass beds of that era were assembled with cold rolled steel which age hardens and becomes brittle, the beds fall apart requiring replacement of hardware. The ony brass beds made in one piece where the parts are brazed, made like a bronze will last thousands of years, the company originated in ottawa, moved to montreal on 77 or 2 yrears before the [arti quebecois came to power who declared the companies originator an enemy of the government, spending the next 15 years trying to deport him, succed in 1994 illegally, ending the only real brass bed company as all the new brass beds are either steel, plated with brass or brass and assembled like the old ones screwed together fall apart brass beds, but hey, the owners do not guarantee their goods for 40 years, and many claims made about the brass beds for sale are simply not true
You need a gunsmith. It might be possilbe or it might not be
Brass. If you want to be exact, low brass.
