Aluminium 46500 / A380 / Al-Si8Cu3
- Alternative Designations: AlSi8Cu3 | EN AC-46500 (EN) | A-S9U3A-Y4 (AFNOR) | A13800 (UNS)
Colors:
- Any color is achievable with finishing
Description:
The A380 Aluminium gives an excellent combination of machinability, heat transfer and easy casting together with other properties. The fluidity of this material is excellent. It has a good resistance to hot cracking and pressure tightness. The presence of silicon makes it a bit rough. This material is applied in a variety of products such as engine mounts, electrical equipment chassis, generators and even furniture.

Anodizing (Type II)
Type II anodize provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
Notes:- Involves using dyes to affect the part’s surface color
- Type II coatings are susceptible to wear and may bleach or fade under prolonged direct sunlight
- Possibility of requesting custom colors (RAL)
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL color
-
Powder coating
Provides a continuous, protective color finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.
Notes:Metals like aluminium and steel can be efficiently coated with polymer powders.
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL color
-
MJF PA12, black spray painting
Spray painting
Provides a continuous, protective color finish which is applied by spraying.
Notes:- Paint coating is just on the surface level, if it is scratched or subjected to wear and tear, the internal natural colour is visible
- Possibility of requesting custom colours (RAL)
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL color
