Aluminum
The great strength of ALU is certainly its low weight and relatively good mechanical properties. This means that ALU die casting is primarily used in projects where the focus is on lightweight construction and a general weight advantage.
Casting behavior
ALU has very good casting behavior with a homogeneous structure, resulting in good mechanical properties.
Corrosion resistance
Like zinc, aluminum is also protected by an oxide layer.
Durability
Aluminum has a very good durability in normal, less aggressive environments.
Environmental friendliness
Although aluminum requires a lot of energy to produce, it is very easy to recycle.
Aesthetics
Aluminium in its raw state remains largely color-stable during corrosion.
Conclusion: ALU scores points for its low weight and good mechanical properties in relation to its weight.
