Aluminium AlSi10Mg is a casting alloy with good casting properties and is typically used for cast parts with thin walls and complex geometry. It offers good strength, hardness and dynamic properties and is therefore also used for parts subject to high loads. Parts in Aluminium AlSi10Mg are ideal for applications which require a combination of good thermal properties and low weight. They can be machined, spark-eroded, welded, micro shot-peened, polished and coated if required. Conventionally cast components in this type of aluminium alloy are often heat treated to improve the mechanical properties.

The main advantage of Aluminium AlSi10Mg over other alloys is its good castability. The alloy has a low melting point and a high fluidity, which makes it easier to fill complex moulds. The addition of magnesium also increases the hardness of the alloy, making it more resistant to wear and tear.

Aluminium AlSi10Mg also has good weldability, making it possible to join different parts together using various welding techniques. The alloy can also be micro shot-peened to improve its surface finish.

If you are looking for a casting alloy with good casting properties and a high level of resistance to wear and tear, then Aluminium AlSi10Mg is the ideal choice for you.
