Besides standard foundry alloys, Alcoa is developing new alloys with improved properties for megacastings.
C611 EZCast™ is a High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) alloy that eliminates the need for a dedicated heat-treatment, saving cost, energy, space and time, avoiding part distortion and achieving optimal mechanical properties after paint-bake of the car body.
C611 EZCast™ has a very good fluidity and can be used in large die casting machines and complex automotive applications. It is suitable and proven for megacasting, enhancing manufacturing of single body pieces with gross weight up to 100 kg.
