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

Suitable applications:
For complicated, thin-wall, pressure-tight, high-strength corrosion resistant castings subjected to fatigue loading.

Heat treatment:

Not usually age hardened
Others each max 0,05%
and total max 0,15%
