Wieland Ecoline - Sustainable, lead-free alloys for the highest demands
The "Ecoline" family brand from Wieland focuses on sustainable and innovative solutions in metal processing. Under the Ecoline label, Wieland unites all lead-free alloys that have been specially developed for machinable applications. These alloys offer an environmentally friendly alternative and meet strict regulatory requirements that are increasingly aimed at reducing lead. Ecoline is a symbol of Wieland's commitment to sustainability and innovation in metal alloy technology and offers a wide range of applications in various industries.
SZ3 - The future of lead-free alloys in the machinable range
With the newly developed SZ3 alloy, Wieland is setting a new standard in the field of lead-free alloys. This alloy is set to become the standard solution for various machinable applications in the future. Thanks to its unique composition, which includes silicon and other specialized alloying elements, SZ3 achieves outstanding material properties. Wieland is convinced that SZ3 will occupy a market-leading position as a "blockbuster alloy", as there is currently no comparable solution on the market. The development process of this alloy was based on intensive research, in which scientists analyzed the optimal combination of mechanisms and elements over a long period of time.
Sustainability as a central component of the corporate philosophy
Wieland is pursuing the goal of actively promoting decarbonization through sustainable products and processes. The focus on lead-free alloys is a key component of this strategy. The company also takes economic factors, such as the ratio of copper to zinc, into account when developing Ecoline products, thus offering a solution that is both sustainable and economical. With a clear focus on sustainability and material efficiency, Wieland is setting standards and positioning itself as a leader in the development of lead-free, machinable alloys.
