AlSi10Mg
Aluminium has been a lightweight, versatile material for over 100 years; a combination of processing routes with good strength and low mass density makes it an excellent choice for industrial applications. AlSi10Mg is one of the most widely used aluminium alloys, originally designed as an age-hardenable casting alloy, and is particularly suited to lightweight designs and highly loaded components.
