SILAFONT®-21 is a low-iron aluminium die casting alloy. Modification with strontium gives components high ductility. Manganese and chromium used as alloying elements prevent sticking and improve deformation behaviour. The mechanical properties can be adjusted to the respective requirements by varying the magnesium content.
High ductile yield values are achievable when cast, which can be further improved in low-pore and low-oxide cast pasts through heat treatment. The newly developed, patented SST heat treatment process allows the manufacture of particularly ductile parts with good strength and sharply reduced heat treatment costs.
