For end-use manufacturers and assemblers, Federalloy®
properties are comparable to those in leaded alloys they're replacing with
respect to:
-
Machinability*
-
Polishing and plating
-
Finish
*With machinability, keep in mind that speeds and feeds may need
to be changed and flood cooling is recommended.
Considering lead-free products? Changing from leaded to
lead-free is not as difficult as you think:
-
Same phos additions as leaded brass
-
Similar pour temperatures as leaded alloys
-
Shrinkage is in line with leaded alloys
-
Mold media is same as for leaded alloys (pour in green sand,
permanent mold, no-bake sand, shell sand)
