A380 aluminum alloy composition and physical properties analysis

2025-05-08

As a highly efficient solution for die casting, A380 is the most popular die casting aluminum because it combines the properties of easy casting, ease of machining, and good thermal conductivity. It has a high degree of variability, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to high-temperature splitting. Although Type A380 has always been considered easy to machine, it is slightly rough due to its high silicon content. It is utilized in a wide variety of products including motor equipment chassis, engine mounts, gearboxes, furniture, generators, and hand tools. The following is a visual presentation of its core technical parameters through a comparison of professional data: A380 Aluminum Alloy Composition Table Element Content Range (wt%) Function Aluminum (Al) 85.0-89.5 Matrix material to ensure a lightweight base Silicon (Si) 7.5-9.5 Enhances mobility and wear resistance Copper (Cu) 3.0-4.0 Enhances high...

A356 Aluminum Alloy Comprehensive Guide: Properties, Applications and FAQs

2025-04-30

The most widely used material for modern automotive cast aluminum alloys is the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) grade A356 alloy, which is equivalent to China's ZL101A, Japan's AC4CH, Germany's AlSi7Mg, France's A-S7G03, and Russia's Aл9-1. In addition to the A356 alloy, Germany uses AlSi9Mg, AlSi10Mg, AlSi11Mg, and France uses A-S11G and A-S12.5. France also uses A-S11G, A-S12.5 . These high Si alloys are not heat-treated, they have good liquid mobility, strong shrinkage capacity, good casting performance, casting defects. But the mechanical properties and machining process performance is not as good as A356 alloy.
