Alloy properties and applications
A380
A380
A380 is one of the most specified aluminium alloys, offering 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 aluminium alloy with high hardness and good wear resistance.
A413
A413
A413 is an aluminium alloy with excellent pressure tightness.
413
413
413 is an aluminium-based alloy used to die cast parts. 413 alloy has a higher magnesium content and a lower iron content than A413.
K-Alloy
K-Alloy
K-Alloy is an aluminium cold chamber die-cast alloy engineered to protect components against severe operating environments.
A360
A360
A360 is an aluminium alloy with excellent pressure tightness and fluidity.
