Aluminum Die Castings

Description

Alloys of aluminium are used in die casting more extensively than alloys of any other base metals. Die casting is especially suited to production of large quantities of relatively small parts. The more important reasons for using light metal casting are low weight, mechanical strength, stiffness and electrical properties. Other applications are ***** components for the power transmission line in the vehicle industry and electronics industry. Typical applications of die cast aluminium alloys include: * · Alloy **0.0 - Lawnmower housings, gear * · Alloy A**0.0 - Streetlamps housings, typewriter frames, dental equipment * · Alloy **0.0 - Frying skillets, cover plates, instrument cases, parts requiring corrosion resistance. * · Alloy **3.0 - Outboard motor parts such as pistons, connecting rods, and housings * Alloy **8.1 - Escalator parts, conveyor components, aircraft and marine hardware and lit tings.
