ECO FORGE^® Alloy Supplier

HIGHLY FORGEABLE, LEAD-FREE SILICON BRASS ALLOY

Wieland Chase is a manufacturer of American forged brass and a leader in lead free, forged silicon brass alloys for ECO solutions.

ECO FORGE^® is a highly forgeable, low copper, lead free*, silicon brass alloy (C69300) that is dezincification resistant and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistant. It also offers excellent antimicrobial properties.

ECO FORGE^® delivers excellent hot forgeability. Forged silicon brass alloys offer the best solution when your application calls for the use of a high performance silicon brass or silicon bronze that is forged. Wieland Chase’s ECO FORGE^® silicon brass alloy can be supplied proof or machined in our in-house production facility. ECO FORGE^® is ideal for lead free applications such as PEX fittings, brass fittings, bronze fittings, stop valves.

The Benefits of Parts Forging with ECO FORGE^®

Wieland Chase offers forging as the superior solution for engineered brass parts solutions. Based on the science, forging is our preferred method of producing ECO BRASS^® and other brass parts that our customers expect to provide long lasting value through extended service and enhanced performance.

• Higher Strength: Forged parts significantly meet or exceed strength requirements
• Tighter Great Structure: Forging compacts the metal using a crushing force, which means no casting-induced porosity or cracks
• Reduced Internal Stress: The high heat of the forging process anneals the part, making it less prone to stress-related corrosion failure
• Higher Dimensional Control: Production tooling stability delivers consistent dimensions for machining, resulting in fewer rejects of final parts
• Highly Repeatable Parts Production: Manufacturing throughput efficiencies are enhanced while the highest quality standards are maintained
• Lower Tooling Costs for Fabrication: Parts producers realize economies of scale
