                                                          It depends:
 on the characteristics of the other material;
 how the surfaces were prepared;
 the coating alloy, thickness, & how applied;
 environment & wear on the surface.
 
 Properly prepared & applied brass coatings should last;
 you can also apply an appropriate polymer sealant or wax coating to lessen wear.
