359.0 is a hypoeutectic aluminum-silicon casting alloy (Si ~8.5%, Cu ~0.2%) designed for high-strength aerospace and automotive applications requiring good castability and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. T6 temper provides solution heat treatment and artificial aging, delivering tensile strengths around 240 MPa with improved hardness and fatigue resistance suitable for structural cast components operating up to approximately 150°C.
