Mechanical allowables for A360 & A380 Aluminum Castings?
Mechanical allowables for A360 & A380 Aluminum Castings?
(OP)
Help!
Anyone know where I can find [formal] mechanical allowables for A360 and A380 Aluminum alloy die castings [QQ-A-591, AMS4290, AMS4291]??? This is driving me crazy! Please advise!!

Alloy, UTS, YS, El, Shear strength
360, 44 ksi (300 MPa), 25(170), 2.5, 28(190)
A360, 46(320), 24(170), 3.5, 26(180)
380, 46(320), 23(160), 2.5, 28(190)
A380, 47(320), 23(160), 3.5, 27(190)
As I am sure you already know, none of these alloys appear in MMPDS or ASMH.

Thanks for the advice: for some reason, I hadn't spotted the allowables data in the ASTM B85.
These values correlate with skimpy data I found later in the day for separetly cast specimens.
MIL-HDBK-694 Various tables
ASM Hdbk [online] V2 nonferrous alloys
