Composition in percent maximum unless shown as a range or a minimum.

Analysis is made only for the elements for which specific limits are shown except for minimum purities of 99.0 percent or greater. If however the presence of other elements is suspected to be, or in the course of routine analysis is indicated to be, in excess of the specified limits, a further analysis is made to determine that these other elements are not in excess of the amount specified. The aluminium content of unalloyed aluminium is the difference between 100.00 percent and the sum of all other metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 percent or more, each expressed to the second decimal place before determining the sum.

Use: S = SAND CASTING • P = PERMANENT MOULD CASTING • D = PRESSURE DIE CASTING Reproduced with permission from the Australian Aluminium Council Ltd

For these alloys only, iron maximum relates to ingot. The maximum iron for castings may vary as follows: • If Fe maximum in ingot is 0.9% then castings 0.40% greater. • If Fe maximum in ingot is 0.8% then castings 0.20% greater. • If Fe maximum in ingot is 0.7% then castings 0.10% greater. • If Fe maximum in ingot is 0.20% (or less) then castings 0.05% greater.

For these alloys only, magnesium maximum relates to ingot. The maximum magnesium for castings may vary as follows: If Mg maximum in ingot is 0.15% (or less) then castings 0.05% less.

Iron + manganese not to exceed 1.3%.

For castings in this alloy the magnesium range is 0.50-1.5.

This is where alloy designation specifies sodium or strontium addition, sufficient amounts are added to provide sufficient eutectic modification, so the alloy can be AC331.

Beryllium is added to control oxidation 0.002- 0.005 %

Alloy AA941 is not a casting alloy, it is used as an aluminium hardener.

Zinc cAsTing ALLoYs This guide is to help designers and material specifiers to better understand the capabilities of zinc casting alloys for product applications.

ADvAnTAges Zinc casting alloys are versatile engineering materials. No other alloy system provides the combination of strength, toughness, rigidity, bearing performance and economical castability. Listed are zinc alloy attributes which can reduce component costs. Improving precision, quality and product performance are other zinc alloy design advantages discussed in this brochure.

process fLexibiLiTY Virtually any casting process can be used with zinc alloys to satisfy virtually any quantity and quality requirement. Precision, high volume die casting is the most popular casting process. Zinc alloys can also be economically gravity cast for lower volumes using sand, permanent mold, graphite mold and plaster casting technology.

precision ToLerAnces Zinc alloys are castable to closer tolerances than other metals or molded plastics, therefore presenting the opportunity to reduce or eliminate machining. “Net Shape” or “Zero Machining” manufacturing is a major advantage of zinc casting.

sTrengTh AnD DucTiLiTY Zinc alloys offer high strengths (to 60,000 psi) and superior elongation for strong designs and formability for bending, crimping and riveting operations.

Toughness Few materials provide the strength and toughness of zinc alloys. Impact resistance is significantly higher than cast aluminium alloys, plastics, and grey cast iron.

rigiDiTY Zinc alloys have the rigidity of metals with modulus of elasticity characteristics equivalent to other die castable metals. Stiffness properties are therefore far superior to engineering plastics.

AnTi spArking Zinc alloys are non sparking and suitable for hazardous location applications such as coal mines, tankers and refineries.

Zinc cAsTing ALLoYs beAring properTies Bushing and wear inserts in component designs can often be eliminated because of zincs excellent bearing properties. For example, zinc alloys have outperformed bronze in heavy duty industrial applications.

eAsY finishing Zinc castings are readily polished, plated, painted, chromated or anodized for decorative and/or functional service.

Thin WALL cAsTAbiLiTY High casting fluidity regardless of casting process, allows for thinner wall sections to be cast in zinc compared to other metal.

mAchinAbiLiTY Fast trouble free machining characteristics of zinc materials minimize tool wear and machining costs.

LoW energY cosTs Because of their low melting temperature, zinc alloys require less energy to melt and cast versus other engineering alloys.

Long TooL Life Low casting temperatures result in less thermal shock and therefore extended life for die casting tools. For example, tooling life can be more than ten times that of aluminium dies

cLeAn AnD recYcLAbLe Zinc alloys are among the cleanest melting materials available. Zinc metal is non-toxic, and scrap items are a reusable resource which are efficiently recycled.
