Im looking for information on an alloy called A444.0. i would be grateful for mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

thanks in advance.

RE: A444.0 Mechanical properties

A444.0 is a binary Al-7%Si gravity die casting alloy.  Typical properties are:

Property       F Temper     T4 Temper
---------      --------     --------
UTS (MPa)        165          160
YS  (MPa)         76           70
elongation (%)    13           21
Hardness (HB)                  50
Corrosion          1            1

Corrosion ratings (1-5, 1 is best) based on salt spray performance.

thanks alot

can you tell me your source for this, as we are trying to source as U.S equivalent of a casting handbook that we use in the UK. THe UK one lists all alloyw, chemical composition, properties, pattern shrinkage, uses etc.
