| MAXXALLOY®-59 |
| MAXXALLOY® - 59 is a low-iron aluminium alloy for use in die casting. The long solidifying interval ensures good mould filling. The tendency to warm crack formation is low. Despite the low iron content, the alloy does not tend toward sticking; thanks to the presence of manganese, even thin-walled parts can be moulded well.
Depending on the wall thickness, excellent mechanical properties can be achieved without heat treatment. In particular, the high ductile yield in thin-walled parts should be emphasised. The alloy is corrosion resistant and is excellently suited for welding. The alloy is used anywhere that die cast parts with very high ductility and good strength are required without heat treatment. Examples are safety parts in vehicle engineering (chassis parts, pressure tanks, car seats, structural parts). |
