Highly Corrosion Resistant
Aluminum Die Casting Alloy
In highly corrosive environments die cast parts form
unacceptable levels of corrosion. To eliminate the failure
of the products manufactured from conventional aluminum a
new die casting aluminum was developed and patented.
Exhibiting unique properties, the new alloy is branded as
K-Alloy.
Features
• Superior corrosion resistance as
compared to all other die casting alloys
•
Significantly improved thermal conductivity of 15% (over
A380)*
• Comparable to A380, A360 and A413 alloys
• K-Alloy can be cast using existing dies
• Good Castability
• No special handling
• Readily available commercial supply
*In addition, K-Alloy may be post-processed to increase the
thermal conductivity by as much as 40% for high performance
applications.
K-Alloy was developed and patented by Delphi Corporation
for under-hood applications where moisture, road salt
corrosion, heat, vibration and shock had been contributing
to failure of standard Al alloys resulting in warranty
repair. K-Alloy has virtually eliminated corrosion with
automakers now certifying the life of K Alloy components in
excess of 20 years under the hood. K-Alloy is available
world-wide.
Just
announced: K-Alloy is now available through Beck
Aluminum, the largest distributor of primary Aluminum
alloys in the US. Delphi Corp. has announced a strategic
licensing agreement with Beck Aluminum that will
improve the competitiveness of K-Alloy through
increased availability at attractive prices.
MDW Technologies, LLC has extensive experience with
corrosion issues in die cast, permanent mold cast and sand
cast aluminum alloy parts. Over the past five years we have
been commercializing K-Alloy world-wide in industries
including outdoor lighting, electrical components, traffic
control, recreational, automotive and other products that
need to perform in harsh environments. If corrosion in
aluminum castings is an issue in your company, K-Alloy
could be a long-term solution for improved parts with less
post-processing and lower overall cost. Contact us today
