Aluminum die casting alloys are lightweight, offer good corrosion resistance, ease of casting, good mechanical properties and dimensional stability. Although a variety of aluminum alloys made from primary or recycled metal can be die cast, most designers select the standard alloys listed below.

The 383 alloy is an alternative to A380 and is often specified when very intricate components require improved die filling characteristics and improved resistance to hot cracking. 383 Alloy also has better corrosion resistance.
