Raw material

There used to be a steel and coal dealer around the corner. Unfortunately, what works again at the corner shop and is making a comeback is not available for raw materials for forging.

We have a well-stocked steel warehouse with the most important steels. Specialties such as butter and pure iron are almost only available from us in smaller quantities.

You can get aluminum, bronze and tin by the kilo.

When it comes to forging coal and coke, we pay attention to the best quality and try to ensure this is consistent.

Special brass ECOCAST ® - cuts
36381002
Special brass ECOCAST ® - cuts #Varinfo lead-free (max. 0.02% Pb), heavy-duty special brass, good corrosion resistance and machinability. Ideal for cast parts by sand casting, permanent mold casting, low-pressure casting   Advantages: high strength easy to cast easy to machine easy to cold and hot form corrosion-resistant recyclable lead-free   We sell the brass in cut pieces of different sizes and weights. Dimensions range from approx. 70x60x40 to approx. 70x70x25 mm. The appearance may vary depending on the batch.     Highly stable Its grain finer ensures an extremely fine grain. This enables an even distribution of forces across the entire structure. Result: strength and hardness even with thin, weight-reducing wall thicknesses, which are otherwise only known from steel.   Better castability Due to its fine-grained structure, Ecocast is ideal for filigree components.   Reduced waste Wherever you have previously had to rely on gunmetal for filigree shapes, the high waste of this conventional material is no longer necessary - with Ecocast.   Excellent machinability Ecocast and its special chemical composition also make post-processing of cast parts safe, precise and economical by machining, grinding, polishing or coating.   First-class corrosion resistance Fine-grained structure through and through - this also means minimal dezincification depth on the surface through contact, oxidation or cleaning.   The future is lead-free Secure your advantage: With Ecocast, you can design and equip your products for tomorrow today. In many countries and for various customers, strict regulations on the use of lead-free materials already apply.   Universal Ecocast can be cast in both ingot molds and sand. The material is standardized in EN 1982 under CC768S.
