Raffmetal EN AB-Al Si7Mg0.3 (EN AB-42100) is a heat-treatable, Al-Si-Mg casting alloy in ingot form for remelting. It is used extensively for producing sand, permanent mold and investment castings for applications requiring a combination of excellent casting characteristics, high strength with good elongation, and good corrosion resistance. This alloy can be produced to a wide range of mechanical properties by making small adjustments to the magnesium content and/or heat treatment. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as casting, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Al-480. Producer or source: Raffmetal S.p.A.

ALUMINUM A356.0 is a sand and permanent-mold casting alloy. It responds to an age-hardening heat treatment. This alloy has a relatively good combination of strength and ductility in the solution-treated and aged condition. Aluminum A356.0 is recommended for aircraft and missile components where high strength and resistance to corrosion are required. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive and shear strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as casting, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Al-258. Producer or source: Various aluminum companies.
