The invention relates to a high-tensile brass alloy comprising: 58-66 wt. % Cu; 1.6-7 wt. % Mn; 0.2-6 wt. % Ni; 0.2-5.1 wt. % AI; 0.1 -3 wt. % Si; ≤ 1.5 wt. % Fe; ≤ 0.5 wt. % Sn; ≤ 0.5 wt. % Pb; and the remainder being Zn together with unavoidable impurities. Further described are a high tensile brass product comprising such an alloy composition, and a method for producing such a product made of a high tensile brass alloy.
