Where can you find antique brass?
Brass is also known as yellow copper because of its yellow color. It is an alloy of copper and zinc, typically containing between 55 and 70% copper and between 30 and 45% zinc. You might come across brass, for example, when you’re tearing out your bathroom, since the plumbing fixtures are often made of brass. But you’ll also see it in connectors between copper pipes that run through your home or commercial building behind the walls. It’s also found in the piping of heat exchangers in places like oil refineries, or in the brass water meter in your utility closet.
Yellow copper price per kilogram
There is no brass price on the London Metal Exchange; the price of brass is determined by the current copper price and zinc prices, but the demand for brass and its supply are the key factors in determining the price of brass per kilogram. On our page with the scrap prices overview , you’ll find the current scrap metal prices and can easily calculate your earnings. You can also send us a photo via our WhatsApp service or stop by one of our drop-off locations.
Brass Recycling
Virtually all old brass alloys are suitable for recycling; that is, brass scrap is collected and returned to the brass smelter, where it is melted down into the desired end product. These are usually brass billets or brass rods, which are later processed into a finished product.
During the recycling and smelting of yellow copper—also known as brass recycling—slag forms on the molten metal bath; this is skimmed off and is called brass dross. Krommenhoek Metals also trades in this brass dross.
To improve the properties of standard yellow brass, various additives can be incorporated. Aluminum makes the brass stronger and more corrosion-resistant. The aluminum forms a thin, hard layer that is self-healing. Adding tin has a similar effect and is used, for example, in seawater. Combinations of additives such as iron, aluminum, silicon, and manganese give brass high wear resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Antique Brass
Do you have another question?
Brass has a warm, yellowish color similar to gold, but with a slightly more matte finish. Here’s a handy home test: hold a magnet next to it. Brass isn’t magnetic. If the object does react to the magnet, then it’s iron or steel. Still not sure? Just send us a photo via WhatsApp, and we’ll tell you right away what you’re holding.
Bronze and brass are similar in scrap value, but copper is generally more valuable. Bronze contains more copper than brass, so it can fetch a slightly higher price. The exact daily price varies, so use our online scrap calculator for an up-to-date comparison.
