Description

Alloy AK5M used: for the manufacture of ingots and shaped castings by various casting methods (sand casting, investment casting, gravity die casting, pressure casting); casting parts, metallurgical and transport equipment (heads and cylinders of air-cooled engines; parts of machines and devices working at temperatures above +225 °C) and other heavily loaded parts; casting parts of valves and actuators to it.

Note

Aluminum foundry alloy of the system Al-Si-Cu. Alloy high-strength heat-resistant.
Advantages: High mechanical strength, a satisfactory casting processing properties, weldability and corrosion resistance. Good machinability.
Disadvantages: Reduced ductility.
