| SILAFONT®–20 |
| SILAFONT® – 20 is a near-eutectic and hardenable alloy made from virgin aluminium with very good mould filling and flow properties. The casting properties are comparable with those of alloy AlSi12 (SILAFONT® – 13). It can be processed using all known processes of die casting, but preferably in coquille and low-pressure die casting due to the better mechanical values that can be achieved.
SILAFONT® – 20 is also available with a permanent modification for processing in mould casting. Cast parts made from SILAFONT® - 20 are noted for their high strength and (thanks to the low iron content) good elongation values. Corrosion resistance is very good. SILAFONT® – 20 is therefore excellently suitable for the casting of complicated parts and for the manufacture of parts exposed to high mechanical loads. The weldability of SILAFONT® - 20 is excellent, machinability is good after heat treatment. |
