Casting Aluminum Alloys

Appendix One: Compositions of Standard Casting Aluminum Alloys

Tables A.1.1 A.1.3 provide data on standard compositions of Russian and US casting aluminum alloys (Aluminum Association). Concentrations of alloying elements are given for the lower and upper boundaries of the concentration range in mass percent (two digits); for impurities the maximally allowable level is denoted by one digit. Alloys are presented in the ascending order of the principal alloying element concentration growth (silicon for Table A.1.1, copper for Table A.1.2, and magnesium for Table A.1.3). Letters S, P, and M correspond to casting into sand, under pressure (die casting), and into metallic mold.
