This is a list of commonly poured and in stock metals and alloys.
Copper Based Metals and Alloys
Pure Copper
- Electrical connectors; power transmission (best conductivity)
115 - CDA83600
- Leaded red brass; good bearing properties; general use; least cost
131 - CDA83300 - High copper;
electrical connectors
132 - CDA83450
- Low lead; general use; replacement for Alloy #115
205 - CDA90700
- Tin bronze for gears, bearings, and high pressure steam
210 - CDA90500
- Leaded tin bronze for gears and bearings
245 - CDA92200
- General use; low lead upgrade for Alloy #B2
403 - CDA85400
- Yellow brass; ornamental castings
415A-D - CDA955
- Nickel aluminum bronze for extreme conditions; very good corrosion wear and strength characteristics
421 - CDA86500
- Manganese bronze; general purpose high strength metal
424 - CDA863
- High strength manganese bronze; highest strength; hardest commonly poured non-ferrous alloy; good
replacement for ferrous alloys
500 - Everdur
- Silicon bronze; very good corrosion resistance and weld-ability
Aluminum Based Metals
A356
- Silicon Aluminum; general purpose Al.; good all-around casting characteristics (corroding strength,
ductility, welding)
A357
- Silicon Aluminum; general purpose Al.; slightly higher mechanical properties than 356
319
- General purpose Al.; good stability and machine-ability without heat treating
535
- Magnesium Aluminum; good strength; very good corrosion resistance
712
- Zinc Aluminum; good mechanical properties; naturally aging (stability and machine-ability)
443
- Specialty Alloy designed for its ability to bend without cracking
Zinc Based Metals
Pure Zinc - Za-8-12-27
- Has excellent strength and stability in certain applications; can replace cast iron |
