There are the following differences between pure copper and brass

1. Composition: Pure copper is a copper material with a copper content of up to 99.9%, while brass is an alloy material containing copper and zinc in different proportions. Therefore, pure copper is purer than brass, but brass may have better mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
2. Function: Pure copper has very good electrical and thermal conductivity, while brass has better mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Therefore, pure copper is usually used in electrical and electronic components, while brass is usually used to manufacture various low-wear parts, connectors and locks.
3. Application range: Since brass contains different proportions of elements such as copper and zinc, it is more complex in mechanical and chemical properties than pure copper. Therefore, brass is more commonly used in some application fields that require high strength and high corrosion resistance. In the fields of electronics and construction, pure copper is often used.
4. Price: Brass has a lower cost than copper. Pure copper has a relatively high cost and is more expensive.
