1) Remark: Material EN AC-AlSi9Cu3(Fe)(Zn) is produced as diecast. It shows the following casting characteristics and properties: plasticity: good heat crack resistance: good pressure tightness: good workability (after heat-treatment): good corrosion resistance: insufficient decorative anodic oxidation: not advisable weldability: unsuitable polishability: acceptable strength at room temperature: good strength at increased temp. (up to 200°C): excellent ductility (impact strength): insufficient fatigue strength amounts 60 to 90 N/mm² ( best available casting method, values for vibration durability up to 50*10 hoch 6 cycles [Woehler diagram]). Diecasting weldability depends on the embedded gas amount and is mostly insufficient. For certain casting methods are achievable good to acceptable values.
