Fisk’s BlueBrass is a lead-free, high-performance copper alloy that aids precision machining needs. BlueBrass provides economic and environmental benefits by combining performance and regulatory compliance in a single solution featuring machinability, strength and ductility, according to the company. The RoHS compliant composition of BlueBrass means it can be safely recycled in the standard scrap stream. It is recommended for any machined brass part requiring lead-free product, according to the company.
