Comparable Die casting Al Alloys to 6061-T6
Comparable Die casting Al Alloys to 6061-T6
(OP)
Currently trying to finding a comparable casting alloy to replace a machined part made from 6061-T6. Part is complicated enough that die casting would be preferred to reduce machinabilty and keep tolerances. Need to find something that can come close to the yield strength of 40 ksi that has a relatively high elongation %. Already been directed to the 3xx alloys but havent found anything close. Any suggestions?

6061 itself can be cast in permanent mold but would require post machining on most surfaces as it requires very generous drafts.
