Cutting production costs should never sacrifice on the component’s quality. Dynacast offers some top tips for maintaining quality whilst reducing costs using die-casting.
UNS designations C87300 to C87900 are cast silicon brasses and bronzes. Copper UNS C87400 is a silicon brass cast alloy. Silicon brasses are high strength brasses that are solid solution strengthened.
UNS C95200-C95810 designations refer to cast aluminum bronzes. Bronzes are usually formed with tin being the key additive to the copper.
Inconel is a group of austenitic nickel-chromium-based super alloys designed by Special Metals Corporation. Super alloys are high performance alloys that function well in environments with very high temperature.
Super alloys are also known as high performance alloys specially designed to cater to environments with very high temperature of above 540°C (1000°F) where deformation resistance and high surface stability are essential.
Titanium alloys have been developed by adding varying quantities of alloying metals to the base metal titanium. Each alloying metal helps to enhance the properties of corrosion resistance, ductility, durability, tensile strength etc.
BRIGHTRAY alloys are composed of nickel and chromium as the main elements. This alloy was developed at the Henry Wiggin and Co at Birmingham. The original composition of BRIGHTRAY alloy was 80% nickel and 20% chromium.
BRIGHTRAY alloys are nickel-chromium alloys that consist of a higher proportion of nickel. This alloy was first developed at Henry Wiggin and Co, Birmingham. BRIGHTRAY alloys are characterized by good corrosion resistance and ability to function even at elevated temperatures of 1050°C (1922°F).
