Aluminum Die-Cast Alloy

Try www.matweb.com and search on the composition.

Try Machinery's Handbook.

Will give you exact call up

with composition you need.

Most common aluminum alloys have a numbering system which defines the chemical composition of the alloy. For example, in making antennas, I use alot of 6061 Al. I will tell my supplier that I need x lengths of 1/4" 6061 rod, and he knows exactly what I am talking about.

I am willing to bet that the chemical composition you describe has a common number, but regretfully I don't have a book available right now which has the information. You might be able to find the info with Google. {Aluminum alloys} maybe?

Note that other metals have similar numbering systems for their alloys. Stainless Steel comes to mind. I believe they use 3 digit numbers though.

The composition does not look typical for die casting process. Conventional wisdom would suggest wide freezing range, low fluidity, propensity for shrinkage. I would love ot hear more on an alloy of this composition related to die casting!

Poor alloying mix!

If you must have that, mix yourself in an Induction Mixer -- out of bought scrap.

You have to have a very large scrap dump to choose from.

And you have to have direct-reading Spectrometer to label individual pieces of scrap!

You also need careful Computation of net expected alloy mix.
