Common Aluminum Die Casting Alloys
Metals and Materials Table of Contents
Note: The chart below gives typical mechanical characteristics for selected properties. For all critical applications, verify to the applicable industry or requisite material / aluminum standard.
The materials table given below displays the mechanical properties of some common aluminum casting alloys. The properties shown for the alloys were obtained from ASTM, SAE and federal specifications for sand, permanent mold and diecasting. Chemical composition limits are for standard foundry alloy ingot, percent maximum, unless shown as a range.
Sand = Sand Casting and PM = Permanent Mold Casting
