ACTech - Aluminum Casting Alloys for Rapid Prototyping
In terms of flexibility, aluminum as a casting material has the edge: Whilst classic all-round alloys are suitable for (almost) every project, it is above all special alloys that make aluminum casting so interesting. And for all industries: Plant and mechanical engineering, maritime applications and the automotive sector – aluminum for the production of prototypes is in demand more than ever before. To ensure that the finished casting delivers what it promises, the aluminum alloy must be 100% compatible with the respective requirements. At ACTech this is a parameter you can always rely on.
We cast standardized AlSi alloys as well as individual alloy variants with copper or magnesium additions. This enables us to adapt the material for your aluminum prototype even more precisely. Furthermore, our tried-and-proven casting and heat treatment technologies enable us to achieve e.g. higher elongation, greater thermal resistance and improved thermal conductivity. However, that`s not enough for us – in order to continuously optimize our aluminum casting we carry out regular material tests and update our materials portfolio on an ongoing basis. Material standard: DIN EN 1706.
