High fluidity & low melting point:
Cast Aluminum has high fluidity, meaning it can easily fill molds to take on a desired shape. Due to its low melting point, less energy is required for it to transition from solid to liquid form.
Good castability:
With its good castability, the metal can easily fill molds and accurately replicate the dimensions of the desired shape, ensuring consistent results with no flaws.
Thermal conductivity & low density:
Cast Aluminum has fast cooling rates, thanks to its effective thermal conductivity, allowing for materials to be produced in high volumes.
Its low density also allows it to be easily used for different kinds of designs and makes it easy to handle as well. The lightweight prevents structures from being under heavy weight without affecting performance.
Microstructure & mechanical properties:
The microstructure of cast aluminum is formed during its solidification process. There are two phases known as the single-phase structure and the two-phase structure.
In the single-phase structure, primary a-dendrites are formed, which can be controlled to help improve the metal’s mechanical strength.
