Aluminum alloys contain a high proportion of aluminum alloys alloyed with copper, magnesium, silicon, tin, manganese or zinc. They are lightweight and corrosion resistant, and due to these properties they are the alloy of choice for many aerospace applications. Aluminum alloys can be strengthened by heat treating or cold working processes, depending on the alloy.

Aluminum alloy casting material
Aluminum alloys are used in investment casting for a wide variety of components, including those used in aircraft and engines, including fittings, housings, levers, valves, impellers, and more. Our aluminum alloy casting material options include:

A356: This alloy contains silicon, magnesium, iron and zinc. It has excellent corrosion resistance and good weldability, and can be heat treated for strength. It is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloys and is a good substitute for 6061 aluminum rods.
C355: Contains silicon, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, zinc, titanium. It has higher strength than A356 and is often used in applications requiring higher temperature strength.
A357: Composed of silicon, beryllium, iron, copper, magnesium, titanium, zinc, manganese. It is often used in structural components because it is one of the strongest aluminum alloys.
F357: is the beryllium-free variant of the A357.
