Which alloy is the best for my die cast part?

Please make the reference to the following information to learn more about the properties of A380, ADC12, ADC6, ALSi10Mg, ALSi12Fe, ALSi9Cu3, ALSi12Cu1Fe, ALSi12CuNiMg and ALSi12Cu2.

Each type of AL will offer significant advantages for Engineers and Manufacturers in different industry applications.

A380 / ADC10 / AlSi8Cu3Fe

A380 is the most popular and common choice for die casting.

A380 is known for offering an ideal combination of efficient material properties and production workability.

In addition, this material type is commonly used by industry applications throughout the World.

A383 / ADC12

A383 / ADC12 alternatives to A380 for intricate components requiring improved die filling characteristics.

Alloy 383 offers improved resistance to hot cracking (strength at elevated temperatures).

A360 / ADC3 / ALSi10Mg

A360 / ALSi10Mg offers higher corrosion resistance, superior strength at elevated temperatures, and somewhat better ductility, but is more difficult to cast.

While not in wide use and difficult to cast, alloy 43 (ANSI/AA C443.0) offers the highest ductility in the aluminum family.

It is moderate in corrosion resistance and often can be used in marine grade applications.

ALSi12Fe / A413

ALSi12Fe or A413 offers excellent pressure tightness, making it a good choice for hydraulic cylinders and pressure vessels.

Its casting characteristics make it useful for intricate components.

A514 / ADC6

A514 / ADC6 provides the best combination of strength, ductility, corrosion resistance and finishing qualities, but it is more difficult to die cast.
