A356.0 is an aluminum-silicon casting alloy (7–8% Si) commonly used in aerospace and automotive applications where lightweight components with good castability and moderate strength are required. The T6 temper (solution heat-treated and artificially aged) provides enhanced strength and hardness suitable for structural and engine components operating at elevated temperatures up to approximately 150°C.
