Aluminum Alloys used in Sand Casting

Common applications of Aluminum alloys used in Sand Casting:

  1. 713.0 (Tenzaloy)
    Sand casted products madeof this aluminum alloy includes pumps, mining equipment,automotive and trailer parts.
  2. 535.0(Almag 35)
    With the superior ductility it offers, this aluminum alloy is a good replacement for malleable irons. This alloy is a high strength alloy and commonly used to manufacture aircraft components -components that need a high dimensional stability as well as a high strength.
  3. A357.0
    A357.0 is commonly used for aerospace castings because of its high strength.
  4. A356.0
    A356.0 is commonly used to manufacture a number of structural parts (including high strength air- and space frame parts) as well as parts in truck chassis, high velocity blowers and impellers, and machine parts and components.
  5. 356.0
    Automotive transmission cases, pump bodies, flywheel castings and oil pans are manufactured from this aluminum alloy.
  6. 355.0
    Used to manufacture various components including crankcases, air compressor pistons, water jackets and printing presses.
  7. 319.0
    This aluminum alloy is used to produce a number of components including gas and oil tanks, various engine parts, engine oil pans, engine crankcases and typewriter frames.
