Eural USA Inc. has developed 2033 Lead Free, aluminum alloy is said to enable machinability because of thin chip forming, high mechanical properties, surface finishing after turning, and anodizing and weldability attitude. According to the company, the alloy is an alternative to alloy 2011 after latest Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) restrictions that will be applied in 2021. The alloy does not contain tin which, due to its brittle nature, has the dangerous tendency to suddenly break without significant previous deformation (strain). Applicable use of this alloy are said to include automotive, electric and electronic, precision machining, defense, forging, screws, bolts, nuts and threaded parts.
