Brass alloys

Metallurgica San Marco produces a wide range of alloys that meet the standard requirements for the production of bars and profiles for various applications and different types of processing, such as mechanical processing, molding, and cold deformation.
The range of low lead and lead-free alloys complies with the new market demands and the emerging regulations.
In addition to the alloys already available in the range, MSM continues to invest significantly in research and development of new materials that can comply with the new regulations while minimizing their impact on the workability needs of users.

Sustainability and Quality in perfect balance.

LIBRA is the new lead-free brass alloy that aims to achieve the perfect balance between environmental sustainability and material quality.

LIBRA is the premier alloy in Metallurgica San Marco’s range of lead-free alloys, achieving 100% recyclability and 100% recycled material content.

This alloy represents a significant step forward in the commitment to more eco-friendly and safer industrial practices, ensuring:

Sustainability Safety Innovation

A lead-free alloy designed to meet the demands of the most stringent markets and regulations, where attention to the materials used and the impact of the entire production chain is crucial.

Thanks to the UNI/PdR 88:2020 Certification, it meets the requirements for verifying the content of recycled and/or recovered and/or by-product materials present in products, following the highest and current sustainability standards.
