1. High strength. Aluminum castings have a lower density than cast steel and cast iron and are therefore stronger than both while weighing less. Therefore, if in the same load environment, the use of aluminum alloy can greatly reduce the overall weight, so in the power machinery, aerospace fields and transportation equipment casting, aluminum castings can be described as significant advantages, naturally more widely used.

 

2. Strong durability: Because the aluminum material itself has strong stability and oxidation resistance, aluminum alloy castings will not easily corroded and rusted. In addition, aluminum castings are generally sprayed with a layer of electrostatic powder and fluorocarbon paint on the surface, which makes aluminum castings can remain colorless for a long time, so it is very suitable for the manufacturing field of decorative decoration and home appliances furniture and decorations.

 

3. Strong thermal conductivity. Pure aluminum and aluminum alloy castings are often used as heat exchange devices or thermal parts in chemical or power machinery fields because of their good thermal conductivity.

4. Strong plasticity: Because aluminum has a low melting point and good ductility, it can be used to cast a variety of shapes. Because the latent heat of solidification of aluminum is large, the liquid aluminum in the same environment takes a longer time to solidification, that is, aluminum can maintain a longer liquid state and fluidity than other materials such as cast steel and cast iron, and the toughness of aluminum is also very strong, so for some casting mold structure complex castings, aluminum is more suitable.

 

5. High safety: tests show that aluminum alloy castings have strong resistance to external influences such as strong winds, strong earthquakes and weathering. And the use of aluminum castings can make the overall structure lighter, installation, handling, construction and maintenance easier, and can correspondingly reduce the occurrence of dangerous situations.

 

6. Special creativity: Aluminum or aluminum alloy castings can make some special decorative patterns to meet the preferences of different users, so it is very suitable for use in the field of decoration and furniture construction.
