What are the components of A356 aluminum alloy?

[VonGenevieve]

A356 aluminum alloy consists of Si, Mg, Ti, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Al. Properties of aluminum alloy: At room temperature, the tensile yield strength of the alloy decreases with increasing distance from the gate plane, while the fracture strength first decreases and then increases. The elongation rate does not show significant variation with height. Advantages of aluminum alloy: It exhibits excellent casting properties such as good fluidity, no hot cracking tendency, low linear shrinkage, and good air tightness. It has a low specific gravity, good corrosion resistance, is easy to gas weld, and shows minimal reduction in strength with increasing wall thickness of the casting. It can be used in the as-cast state, and mechanical properties improve after modification.
