| Applications This alloy has a high resistance to corrosion and excellent castability, it is most suitable for marine applications, watercooled manifolds and water jackets, motorcar and transport fittings. It is especially suitable for castings that will need to be welded together. The ductility of LM6 enables it to be rectified or modificed at a later date, castings can be cast straight and reshaped later. |
