Recommended Alloy for cast explosion proof enclosures
(OP)
Hello,
Looking to make a cast aluminum explosion proof enclosure.
I sent the drawing out for a quote and called out Aluminum 356 T-6.
Can anyone recommend a good aluminum alloy to use in this application and wall thicknesses? Right now the box is 10x11x4 with a hinged cover.
Thanks,
Phil

Maybe you don't have to cast one yourself. And they do offer hinged options.
Just a thought,

Do you know what the equation is for calculating the bolt pattern.
Is the wall thickness calculation a heat transfer equation?
