In terms of composition, this is an Al-Si-Mg-Fe-Cr alloy

Features

1

This alloy has high corrosion resistance. (Graph 1; Photo 1)

  • A salt spray test (for 96 hr) demonstrated that CR-1 has the same corrosion resistance as ADC12 anodized items.

2

Its liquidus temperature is low, and it also has good castability. (Table 1; Graph 2)

  • The addition of Si results in high fluidity.
  • The addition of Fe and Cr prevents from sticking to the die.
