Machining in Brass | Falks Metall

Brass is a copper and zinc alloy known for its strength, malleability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications. We have extensive experience in turning and milling lead-free brass for demanding applications.

Available Alloys

De-zinc-resistant brass (DZR)
DZR brass is developed to resist zinc plating in aggressive environments, making it ideal for plumbing components and other corrosion-prone applications.

CW724R/Ecobras (lead-free brass)
Ecobras is a lead-free brass with high strength and excellent machinability, making it a sustainable choice for precision components in drinking water installations, for example. We have extensive experience working with lead-free brass and have adapted our production to meet the highest standards.

Areas of application

Brass is used in plumbing systems, valves, couplings, locking components and decorative details due to its corrosion resistance and aesthetic properties. Lead-free brass such as Ecobras is particularly common in drinking water applications where durability and environmental requirements are important.

History

Brass has been used for over 2500 years and was first popular in ancient Rome for coins, decorations, and tools. During industrialization, brass became crucial in the manufacturing industry, and in modern times, the development of lead-free brass such as Ecobras has responded to increased environmental requirements.

Fun fact

Lead-free brass such as Ecobrass is not only environmentally friendly but also meets strict global drinking water regulations, making it ideal for applications where health and safety are paramount
