    This document summarizes the properties and composition of the aluminium alloy EN AB-43000. Key points include: - The alloy has a near-eutectic composition of 9-11% silicon and 0.25-0.45% magnesium, with excellent castability and resistance to hot tearing. - It has good machinability, weldability, and resistance to chemical attack, making it suitable for complicated thin-wall castings subjected to fatigue loading. - After solution heat treatment at 520-530°C and artificial aging at 150-175°C, the alloy exhibits high strength and corrosion resistance.

    For complicated thin-wall, pressure-tight
    castings subjected to fatigue loading. Very
    good resistance to corrosion and high strength
    after heat treatment.
    Heat treatment:
    Solution heat treaded at 520-530C
    for 3-6 hours followed by quenching
    in water and artificial ageing at150-175C
    for 15-5 hours
