ABC 12 Aluminium Ingots

ABC 12 Aluminum Ingots refer to a type of aluminum alloy typically used in various industrial applications, especially in die casting, automotive parts manufacturing, and other mechanical industries. The designation “ABC 12” suggests a specific alloy composition known for its favorable properties such as good corrosion resistance, high strength, and ease of casting.

Composition:

ABC 12 aluminum alloy is a version of the A380 aluminum alloy (in many cases) or a similarly composed aluminum alloy. These alloys often contain a combination of aluminum along with other metals such as:

• Silicon: Improves fluidity during casting and enhances wear resistance.
• Copper: Contributes to strength and hardness.
• Magnesium: Adds strength and enhances corrosion resistance.
• Zinc: Often included to increase strength, though it can impact corrosion resistance in some environments.
• Iron: Helps improve tensile strength and durability but must be balanced carefully to avoid brittleness.

The exact composition can vary slightly depending on the specific requirements of the application, but it usually adheres to general industry standards for aluminum casting alloys.

Key Properties:

• High Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for outdoor applications or in environments prone to moisture.
• Good Castability: ABC 12 ingots are highly favored in die casting due to their excellent fluidity and ability to fill molds completely.
• Strength and Durability: These alloys provide good mechanical strength, making them suitable for automotive and structural components.
• Thermal Conductivity: High thermal conductivity makes ABC 12 aluminum alloys useful in applications that require heat dissipation, such as engine parts. 
• Machinability: After casting, the alloy is easily machinable, making it ideal for manufacturing precision parts
