NEW GENERATION SECONDARY ALUMINIUM ALLOY

Secondary alloy produced for HPDC used in casting with lengthening values and mechanical properties: Lengthening ≥4%, elastic limit Rp0.2≥120MPa and breaking load Rm≥200MPa. These properties are necessary for the safety components that support impacts from collisions and/or large static bending loads. The alloys maintain the processing properties.

improvement strategies

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS

  • Lower power consumption: secondary alloys only use 5% of the energy required by primary alloys.
  • Less waste and optimisation of raw materials.
  • Development products that are lighter, reducing CO2 emissions and vehicle fuel consumption.
