copper-alloy

Brass or bronze

Copper-alloy describes metals made by combining copper with other elements like tin, zinc, or nickel.

Bronze and brass are copper alloys.

The term appears most often as an attributive: copper-alloy fittings, copper-alloy coins.

Such alloys typically offer greater strength or corrosion resistance than pure copper.
