New Lead-Free Brass Solutions for Drinking Water Applications

该连接项目的目的是提供可行的材料解决方案，以解决含铅黄铜管道产品引起的饮用水铅污染的健康问题，以及黄铜中的铅去除对黄铜行业的影响。为了实现这一目标，该项目邀请了领先的多学科研究人员沿着与来自黄铜行业供应和销售网络的澳大利亚和国际行业合作伙伴。该项目旨在确定和利用开发和实施新的无铅合金替代品所需的关键材料-产品属性，这些替代品符合健康合规性、生产和商业可行性，为整个行业网络带来好处，并为社会带来健康效益。

The aim of this Linkage Project is to provide viable material solutions to address the health problem of Lead-contamination in drinking water arising from Leaded-brass plumbing products and the impact Lead-removal from brass will have on the brass industry. In order to achieve this, this project engages leading multidisciplinary researchers along with Australian and international industry partners from across the brass industry supply and sales network. This project seeks to identify and harness the key material-product attributes required to develop and implement new, lead-free alloy alternatives that meet health-compliance, production and commercial viability, that offer benefits across the industry network and health benefits to society.
