Individual part and finished stethoscope assembly

Drop-forged parts made from copper-zinc or copper-aluminum alloys are easily formable materials and are suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition to good corrosion resistance, these alloys are often used due to their high wear resistance. However, if you are looking for extreme strength with equally good electrical conductivity values, you will also find what you are looking for in copper alloys.
Thanks to our many years of experience with copper-based wrought alloys, we focus on your application and are happy to advise you. This enables us to find the ideal material for your application. Of course, we also process high-purity, oxygen-free and sulphur-free copper. Forged parts from Weisensee can be found in almost all industrial sectors.

Areas of application for our forgings

CuZn39Pb3 (CW614N) and CuZn40Pb2 (CW617N) are the materials used in most applications. The very good machinability of these materials also ensures the individual production of forged parts into ready-to-install products.
Other alloys (e.g. with higher strength, resistance to seawater, dezincification resistance, etc.) can also be machined without any problems by selecting the appropriate parameters.
