    & Other Properties


    ' Castability Very good for sand, gravity die, and low pressure die casting,
    good for high pressure die casting
    ' Shrinkage Sand casting: 1.1–1.2%; gravity die casting: 0.8–1.1%;
    high pressure die casting: 0.5–0.7%
    ' Machinability Very good
    ' Weldability Very good
    ' Corrosion resistance Excellent, very good against sea water
    ' Surface treatment Anodizing for surface protection, not used for decorative purposes.
    Can be polished for decorative purposes.

    ( Melt Treatment
    ' Modification with Na or Sr, especially for sand castings and thick-walled gravity die castings. The alloy can be
    premodified with Na, Sr, or Sb.
    ' Grain refinement with Ti-B is recommended. Additions of Ti-B can also improve castability.
    ' Casting temperature: 680 to 750°C

    ) Heat Treatment
    The standard heat treatment procedure for this alloy is solution treatment followed by artificial ageing, i.e. T6-
    conditions. The treatment time depends on the castings, for slowly solidified and thick walled castings, the
    longest holding times (8-12h) are recommended.

    ' Solution treatment at 520-540°C for 4-12h. The temperatures should not exceed 550°C due to the risk of local
    melting of low melting point phases.
    ' Quenching in water
    ' Ageing at 155-165°C for 6-12h.

    The combination of strength and ductility is determined by the ageing time. Decreasing treatment time or
    temperature (T64-conditions) increase ductility at the expense of strength. If necessary, special heat treatment
    may be applied: stabilizing, soft annealing, stress relief annealing, or overageing.
