Abstract: A copper-zinc alloy, in particular for providing components for a plumbing fitting. The alloy includes (in % by weight): between 63.5 and 63.8% Cu, between 35.2 and 35.6 Zn, between 0.17 ans 0.20% Pb, between 0.32 and 0.4% Al, between 0.11 and 0.13% As, between 0.16 and 0.2% Fe, between 0.0 and 0.2% Sn, between 0.0 and 0.2% Mn, and residual constituents in respective maximum quantities of 0.02%. A method for producing a cast component is provided that includes a copper-zinc alloy of this type. The copper-zinc alloy and the components produced therewith permit a particularly environmentally-friendly, cost-effective production of plumbing fittings.
