Understanding Brass Scrap Grades
Brass is priced relative to LME copper because it is a copper-zinc alloy (typically 60-70% copper). Gunmetal (red brass, ~85% copper with tin) commands the highest price. Mixed brass is the most common grade from domestic sources, covering taps, fittings, and decorative items.
Separate brass from copper when selling. Mixing brass with copper pipe downgrades the entire lot to braziery copper pricing.
