  • This diagram puts a phenomenon of pumping tin from the ⁇ , ⁇ 'phases by the ⁇ phase.
  • Figure 3 is a photograph for highlighting hot malleability alloys according to the invention (alloys 2 and 4) by crushing tests of 55% (pions higher) and 80% (lower pions), made at 700, 750 and 825 ° C.
  • FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a section of a coin stamped according to the invention in contact with water, explanation of the mechanism of accelerating action of arsenic on the lead release rate in drinking water
  • FIG. 5 is a diagram which shows the elements of the photograph of FIG.
  • the tin content of the CuZnPbSn alloy can be between 1.4 and 1.6%.

  • Another subject of the invention comprises the semi-products obtained from the CuZnPbSn alloy according to the invention, in which the microstructure of the alloy is composed of three intermetallic phases: ⁇ , ⁇ 'and ⁇ .
  • said CuZnPbSn alloy can have a composition chosen so that, according to ISO 6509, said semi-finished product obtained from this alloy has an average depth of dezincification less than 200 .mu.m, and even typically less than 150 microns, so that said alloy CuZnPbSn, which is not arsenic, is much higher than the alloy CW617N and even approaches the performances of the CW602N arsenic alloy.
  • said CuZnPbSn alloy can have a composition chosen so that the half-product obtained from this alloy present, for a drilling operation performed under the usual conditions according to standard NF E66-520-7 of the 2000 edition, an average size of chips typically two times smaller than that obtained with CW602N alloy which is a brass with arsenic.
  • said CuZnPbSn alloy may have a composition chosen so that the hot-pressing test according to the ASTM E209-00 standard of the 2000 edition. , and made in the range of 600 ° C to 750 ° C, causes no cracking of said half-product obtained from this alloy.

  • These semi-products have a great ability to deform without cracking or cracks, which is extremely advantageous in practice.
  • said CuZnPbSn alloy of said half-product can present a composition chosen so that the release rate lead in drinking water is below the regulatory threshold according to the Directive 98/83 / EC on the quality of water intended for human consumption. It is important to note also the very low rate of release of Zn compared to that of alloys 5 and 6.
  • said CuZnPbSn alloy may have a composition chosen so that said half-product has a high heat malleability, and so that its crush resistance is lower. to that obtained with the CW602N alloy, and preferably two times less than that of said CW602N alloy. It goes without saying that the power installed on the machines or devices for manufacturing the finished products, in particular when such manufacture comprises deformation of the half-product by crushing, will be less in the case of the semi-finished products according to the invention than in the case of the semi-finished products of the state of the art formed from alloys Nos. 5 and 6.
  • Another object of the invention is formed by the finished product obtained from the semi-finished product.
  • the half-product being typically selected from: a valve, a valve, a fitting.
