Brass Turning

AEB specializes in brass turning and in machining the main brass alloys used in the industrial production of precision turned components, serving both European and international markets, with a strong focus on the United States.

The alloys most commonly processed in our company include various types of technical brass, such as CW614N and CW617N. These materials are widely used in automatic turning thanks to their excellent machinability and stability in mass production, and are commonly applied in faucets, fittings, terminals, and general components, in compliance with the technical standards required by both European and U.S. markets.

We also machine alloys such as CW603N, particularly appreciated in the North American market for high-speed machining and for the production of small parts and technical components, especially in sectors requiring high productivity and tight tolerances.

Low-lead or lead-free brass alloys are becoming increasingly widespread, developed to meet European and international regulations concerning materials intended for contact with drinking water, including U.S. standards such as NSF/ANSI requirements. Among these is CW724R, a high-strength alloy characterized by excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and dezincification, making it suitable for technical applications and components used in hydraulic systems and water distribution networks, including those destined for the U.S. market.

Special attention is also given to low-lead brass alloys such as CW510L and CW511L. These materials feature an extremely low lead content (below 0.1% and 0.2% respectively) and are included in the European 4MS group “Positive List,” while also meeting the growing demand for environmentally compliant materials in North America.
