C355.0 is a copper-containing aluminum casting alloy (Al-Si-Cu-Mg system) used primarily in aerospace and automotive applications requiring moderate strength and good castability. The T6 temper (solution heat-treated and artificially aged) provides enhanced mechanical properties suitable for structural components operating at elevated temperatures with improved dimensional stability and corrosion resistance compared to as-cast conditions.
