Different brass materials, such as 95, 53, 56, and 62, have different combinations of copper and zinc, which affect the properties of the brass alloy, such as corrosion resistance, strength, and machinability.
For example, 95 brass, which is 95% copper and 5% zinc, is often used to make taps because it has excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, and high strength to withstand abrasive repeated use.
On the other hand, 53 and 56 brasses with higher zinc content are generally not corrosion resistant and machinable, but they can be harder and more wear resistant. 62 brass with a higher copper content is generally more corrosion resistant and more ductile, but may be less suitable for machining.
In conclusion, the choice of brass material depends on the specific requirements and conditions of the tap application.
