On the mechanical Properties of Aluminium Die-Casting Alloys

The growing demand of die-casting in industry and for household articles is very great, and hence the author studied die-cast aluminium alloys and compared the mechanical properties with the gravity cast specimens of the same alloys. For the as-cast state, die-casting has superior qualities to gravity casting, and no beneficial eftect is noticed by heat treatments, but annealing, if neccessary, should be made at 100-200°.
