Foundry Alloys

High Grade and Primary Alloys

• Low iron, silicon and zero/low copper bearing alloys
• Used for low pressure, gravity AND investment casting

Common alloys used in South Africa	LM0, LM6, LM9, LM20, LM25, GAlSi12Cu, GAlSi9Mg, Si13, A356.2, A357.2
Foundry finished products	Automotive wheels & brake components Compressor cylinders and military components High tension distribution hardware Lighting, garden furniture and decorative filigree Components requiring good corrosion resistance

Commercial Grade Alloys

• Normally alloys bearing silicon, copper and iron
• Used for low and high pressure die casting applications

Common alloys used in South Africa	LM2, LM4, LM24, LM27, GAlSi9Cu3, D12S
Foundry finished products	Automotive cylinder heads and automotive components White goods and computer components General engineering parts Hardware components
