L'ottone è una lega ossidabile formata da rame (Cu) e zinco (Zn), simile all'oricalco. Bisogna distinguere tra ottoni binari, costituiti da rame e zinco, ottoni ternari in cui è presente un terzo elemento chimico caratterizzante la lega e ottoni quaternari in cui sono presenti altri elementi chimici.
