Mechanical Properties |
| |
The mechanical properties, especially of die cast alloys, depend strongly on the actual fabrication route and the fabrication variables involved. Properties of die cast alloys are based on separately die cast test bars, if not otherwise stated. The given property values must be understood as examples of what might be expected when casting parts with cross-sections, structure and quality comparable to those used bars. |
