General description of properties:
Near-eutectic alloy with excellent castability properties and good resistance to hot tearing. Good machinability, excellent weldability and high resistance to chemical attack.

Suitable applications:
For complicated thin-wall, pressure-tight castings subjected to fatigue loading. Very good resistance to corrosion and high strength
after heat treatment.

Heat treatment:
Solution heat treaded at 520-530ºCfor 3-6 hours followed by quenching in water and artificial ageing at150-175ºC for 15-5 hours

Others each max 0,05%
and total max 0,15%
