Foundry alloys for aluminium castings
To ensure consistent, high-quality metal, we use top-grade raw materials and apply best practices. Our foundry alloys are produced to meet individual customer specifications and in accordance with ISO, EN and JIS standards.
Key features
- Excellent castability
- High and consistent metal quality
- Low level of impurities and trace elements
Application areas
Automotive and transportation:
- Wheels
Chassis components as brake parts, structural and suspension parts
Cylinder heads and engine blocks
Other applications:
- Electrical applications
- Decorative / anodized applications and/or where highest corrosion resistance is sought
Product details
Alloys are produced as continuous cast or mold cast ingots. The products are stacked and strapped into bundles of various sizes. Depending on the particular production source, our foundry alloy ingots are supplied in weights of 7-22 kg, and bundle weights can range from 700-1200 kg.
Frequently used alloy groups:
- AlSi7Mg – alloys
- AlSi9Mg – alloys
- AlSi11(Mg) alloys
- AlSi10MgMn alloys
