Muntz metal is a brass alloy composed of approximately 60% copper, 40% zinc and a trace of iron. It is named after George Fredrick Muntz, a metal-roller of Birmingham, England, who commercialised the alloy following his patent of 1832. The most common application of Muntz metal during much of the 19th century was as a sheathing to protect ship hulls as well as the piles of piers.
