SILAFONT® - 36 is a low-iron aluminium die casting alloy. Modification with strontium gives components high ductility. Manganese used as an alloying element prevents sticking and improves deformation behaviour.
The alloy is weldable and can (assuming a suitable processing technique is used) be used for structural and safety parts. The deliberate setting of the magnesium content influences the mechanical properties as required. High ductile yield values are achievable when cast, which can be further improved through heat treatment. |
