HTB1 (High Tensile Brass) | BS1400 HTB1 Alloy Castings

Conex Metals is a leading global manufacturer and exporter of HTB1 High Tensile Brass Alloy Castings, produced in full compliance with British Standard BS1400: HTB1. Our in-house foundry and advanced machining centres allow us to produce precision-engineered components for demanding industrial applications worldwide. HTB1 is a high-strength manganese brass alloy, specially developed for high-load, wear-resistant components in harsh operating environments. It offers superior strength compared to standard bronzes, combined with excellent wear resistance and good corrosion resistance in seawater and marine conditions. HTB1 is highly machinable and suitable for components requiring durability, fatigue resistance, and impact strength. It is the alloy of choice for marine hardware, hydraulic parts, pump & valve components, and heavy engineering applications.
