Forming technology & machining

At Diehl Metal Forgings (DMF), we combine our decades of experience in the cold and hot forming of a wide variety of metals. Our state-of-the-art machinery, efficient production sequences and lean processes enable maximum precision in terms of shape, position and dimensional accuracy as well as excellent surface finishes.
Thanks to our (near) netshape production, we reduce material usage and downstream processing, which means your products can be manufactured more economically and with fewer resources.

Development competence and material expertise

In our internal development network, we set standards, particularly for brass alloys - from material selection to simulation, verification and validation through to series production. Together with our customers, we support projects from the very beginning - always with a view to technical excellence and cost-effectiveness.

The core competence of Diehl Brass Solutions (DBS) lies in the independent production of high-quality copper alloys - from the foundry to precise further processing. We produce semi-finished products with exceptional material quality and dimensional accuracy that meet the high demands of a wide range of industries.

eZeebrass - lead-free brass

With eZeebrass, Diehl Metall offers an innovative lead-free brass alloy that has been specially developed for demanding machining and forming processes. Thanks to the optimized alloy composition, the material enables very good machinability with controlled chip breaking and stable processes during turning, milling and drilling.

At the same time, eZeebrass impresses with its good hot forming properties and is suitable as a high-performance alternative to classic lead-containing brass alloys. This makes the material ideal for modern series production, sustainable production and future-proof applications in the field of copper alloys.
