The choice of casting alloy depends on the specific application requirements, including mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, processing performance and cost. The following is a detailed analysis and recommendation of some of the best casting alloys:

1. The best alloys for casting: Aluminum-based alloys

    • A380 alloy: This is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloys. And it highly regarded for its excellent comprehensive properties. Including light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance and good corrosion resistance. It performs well in complex shapes and thin-walled parts. While maintaining good dimensional stability and thermal conductivity. Making it ideal for casting automotive, electronic equipment and industrial components.
       
    • A360 and A383 alloys: These two alloys perform better in high temperature resistance and hot cracking resistance, and are suitable for parts that require high pressure and high temperature environments. A360 alloy excels in pressure sealing and corrosion resistance, while A383 alloy provides higher strength at high temperatures and reduces the risk of hot cracking.
       
    • Al-Si alloys: Such as AlSi7Mg0.3, AlSi8Cu3, etc. These alloys are widely used in the automotive industry and industrial castings. Due to their good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and castability. They can obtain better mechanical properties after heat treatment and are suitable for manufacturing wheels, structural castings and suspension components.

    2. The best alloys for casting: Copper-based alloys

    • Cu-Sn-Zn-Pb alloy: This alloy performs well in sand casting, has good castability, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for manufacturing precision parts such as valves, pumps and bearings.
    • Copper alloy AB1: This alloy is suitable for cost-effective sand casting, and has good welding performance and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for marine engineering and petrochemical industries.

    3. The best alloys for casting: Magnesium alloys

    • AZ91 alloy: This is one of the most widely useS alloy among magnesium alloys. And it widely uses in the automotive and aerospace fields. Due to its excellent casting properties, high strength and corrosion resistance. However, it is prone to creep at high temperatures. And it has poor corrosion resistance in some cases. But its performance can be improved by improving its composition.
    • AZ51 and ZA8 alloys: These alloys have higher mechanical strength and ductility, are suitable for hot press casting, and can produce complex parts with high structural strength and appearance.
    Magnesium Alloys

    The selection of the best casting alloy should be based on specific application requirements, such as strength, corrosion resistance, machinability and economy. For example, aluminum-based alloys (such as A380 and A360) are suitable for most industrial applications, while magnesium alloys (such as AZ91) are suitable for areas that require light weight and high strength. Copper alloys excel in corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity and are suitable for specific industrial uses. In addition, iron-based and titanium alloys also play an important role in specific fields.
