Aluminum Investment Castings
Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion resistant alloy commonly used for investment cast components. At Milwaukee Precision Casting, Inc., we pour aluminum A356 for critical parts such as pump impellers & housings, covers, plates, high velocity blowers, and more.
Our precision investment casting process involves using a wax pattern to create a ceramic mold, which we pour the molten aluminum alloy into. The result is an incredibly precise and detailed aluminum alloy casting. We are proud to produce A356 aluminum investment castings with ±0.005 inch/inch linear tolerance, which is an important standard to look for in an investment casting manufacturer.
Aluminum Alloy Heat Treatments
Depending on your needs relative to strength and ductility, we have the capabilities of providing heat treatment.
- T2 (Anneal)
- T4 (Solution Treat & Naturally Age)
- T6 (Solution Treat & Artificially Age)
- T61* (Solution Treat, Quench and Age)
*T61 heat treatment is for maximum strength of up to 40K PSI tensile for aluminum alloy castings.
Alloy A356 Composition
- 92.05% Aluminum (Al)
- 7.00% Silicon (Si)
- 0.35% Magnesium (Mg)
- 0.20% Iron (Fe)
- 0.20% Copper (Cu)
- 0.10% Manganese (Mn)
- 0.10% Zinc (Zn).
Aluminum Alloy A356 Casting
A356 is a cast aluminum alloy with impressive corrosion resistance, strength, and ductility, comparable to stainless steel, except aluminum is much lighter in weight. This makes A356 great for Aluminum casting parts.
