F357
Aluminium has been a lightweight, versatile material for over 100 years; good strength at low density, good thermal and electrical conductivity and high resistance in corrosive atmospheres make it an excellent choice for industrial applications. Compared with AlSi10Mg, F357 has a reduced silicon content of about 7%, which gives improved mechanical properties while keeping exceptional weldability.
