Oroide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oroide is copper and zinc, or copper and tin, often employed inexpensively for decorative purposes where a gold-colored metal is desirable.

Oroide may refer to:

  • Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc that has a bright gold-like appearance

  • Other gold-colored copper alloys
