356.0 Aluminum T6

Verifiedmetal

356.0-T6 is an aluminum-silicon casting alloy (7-9% Si, ~0.2% Mg) solution heat-treated and artificially aged to provide moderate strength and excellent castability for complex geometries in aerospace and automotive applications. This temper delivers yield strength around 160-165 MPa with good ductility and superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for engine blocks, pump housings, and structural castings requiring dimensional stability and pressure tightness.

Quality & Standards

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
