Aluminum Alloy

You can rest assured that you’ll obtain aluminum alloys of the highest quality for your projects. Aluminum is a metal that is popular with manufacturers because it is efficient, light, and highly workable. It is an excellent heat and electricity conductor and is 100% recyclable. Maximum poured weight per part: 500lbs.

ALUMINUM-SILICON-COPPER

Aluminum C355 contains between 4.5- 5.5% silicon and 1.0-1.5% copper as the main alloying elements. C355 is more resistant than A356 but has less ductility yet it maintains good mechanical properties at high temperatures compared to A356. ​

Mainly used in aeronautics and the automotive industry for parts such as pump bodies, engine cylinders, transmission boxes, and heat exchanger.
