What's in an Engine
& Why? |
Aluminum alloys have good
fluidity properties at cast temperature. It's thermal conductivity is 151
W/m-K° or 87 BTU/ft-h-F°, the higher the better. Typical industrial codes for
casting aluminum alloys are either A390 T6, or A356.0 T6. The T6 is a heat
treatment that changes the properties of the material. To learn more about
these codes click here. |
