[etch]

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

thanks in advance.

A444.0 is a binary Al-7%Si gravity die casting alloy. Typical properties are:
[tt]
Property F Temper T4 Temper
--------- -------- --------
UTS (MPa) 165 160
YS (MPa) 76 70
elongation (%) 13 21
Hardness (HB) 50
Corrosion 1 1
[/tt]
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.

etch,

You should visit the AFS website for reference material of this type. The publications section can be accessed using the following link:
