Aluminium Al-Si10Mg
- Alternative Designations: EN - 1706
Description:
Aluminium AlSi10Mg is a lightweight alloy known for its good mechanical properties, including strength, hardness, and dynamic load-bearing capacity. It offers high corrosion resistance and good thermal and electrical conductivity, which can be enhanced with heat treatments to improve ductility and conductivity. This material is ideal for manufacturing gas-tight parts and is commonly used in general engineering, aerospace, automotive components, and lightweight designs, often substituting cast AlSi10Mg parts.

CNC machined part without surface finishes (3D render, aluminium)Bead blasting (3D render)
Bead blasting
Bead blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny beads of media, plastic or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.
Notes:The recommended part size is 6-600 mm in both height and width. Smaller parts are hard to hold and tough to produce an even surface.
Final result:
- Uniform, matte or satin-like appearance
- Slightly grainy in the touch

Custom Finishing
If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually takes 1-2 business days.
Notes:Submitting for manual review with a custom request does not guarantee a quote.
