The present invention relates to a die-casting brass alloy having a
dezincification resistance, which is lower than 100 .mu.m for a separate
value according to British Standard BS 2872 in a die-casting condition
(i.e. without a subsequent phase transforming heat treatment). The alloy
according to the invention is characterized by the following composition:
Cu: 63.6 weight-%
Pb: 1.8 weight-%
Si: 0.73 weight-%
Al: 0.07 weight-%
As: 0.06 weight-%
Ni: 0.2 weight-%
Sn: 0.3 weight-%
Fe: 0.25 weight-%
B: 8 ppm
Other impurities: max. 0.3 weight-%
Zn: remainder.
