EcoBrass castings - any experience?
EcoBrass castings - any experience?
(OP)
A foundry sent me an email stating they would like to change the metal they will be pouring for one of our parts from a leaded brass, C83600, to "EcoBrass", C87850. We aren't making potable water system parts, so the low lead content isn't a big seller for us, but the higher strength and corrosion resistance of the new alloy is interesting. The part is a sand casting, and we are fairly sensitive to flaws (voids/porosity). Has anyone had experience with the EcoBrass in sand castings and care to comment?
The distributor for the Eco-Brass ingots has this website, for those who are interested.

If the strength would help you then give it a try.
