A wide range of casting alloys facilitates the selection of the most suitable and cost-effective material for specific application requirements. Each of these casting alloys has its own physical and mechanical properties. They also have their own casting properties, for example:
Solderability
Machinability
Corrosion resistance
heat treatment properties
In addition, ongoing research into alloying elements often leads to the invention and development of stronger and more suitable casting alloys for the needs of industrial applications. Choosing the right casting method and the most suitable alloy are the two main factors that contribute to achieving the optimum level for a particular cost.
