Alloy Properties and Applications
A380
A380
A380 is one of the most specified aluminum alloys with a number of significant benefits.
A383 (ADC12)
A383 (ADC12)
If your component is highly intricate, 383 – also known as ADC12 in Asia – is often used as an alternative to A380.
B390
B390
B390 is an aluminum alloy with high hardness and good wear resistance.
A413
A413
A413 is an aluminum alloy with excellent pressure tightness.
413
413
413 is an aluminum-based alloy that is used for die casting parts. 413 Alloy has a higher magnesium content and a lower iron content than A413.
K-Alloy
K-Alloy
K-Alloy is an aluminum, cold chamber die cast alloy that was engineered to protect components against harsh operating environments.
A360
A360
A360 is an aluminum alloy with excellent pressure tightness and fluidity.
