• Lead-free
• Performance in machinability, forgeability and castability rate from 70% to 100% of the best existing alloys
• Not as prone to cracking during machining like other lead substitutes such as bismuth;
• Strength is like stainless steel but with much better machinability
• Resistance to dezincification is as good as bronze
• Stress corrosion cracking resistance is as good as low zinc alloys
• Cost competitive as a foundry alloy compared to bismuth brasses and some traditional silicon brasses
Our engineered parts are made from the following tested and proven lead free brasses:
Brass Alloy 693 ECO BRASS
Brass Alloy 87850 ECO BRASS
