Bill,
Here is some data from my "Alcoa Aluminum Handbook" dated 1967;
Nominal alloying ingredients,
in addition to aluminum (%):
type si cu ma mg ni
355 5.0 1.3 --- .50 ---
A355 5.0 1.4 .80 .50 .80
C355 5.0 1.3 --- .50 ---
356 7.0 ---- --- .30 ---
A356 7.0 ---- --- .30 ---
Ultimate tensile strength,
permanent mold castings Kps
355 T51 27
355 T6 37
355 T62 42
355 T71 34
C355 T51 40
356 T51 25
356 T6 23
356 T7 29
A356 T6 37
Alcoa lists 355 under both sand and permanent mold castings
while 356 is listed under permanent mold only.
Nominal melting range deg. F
355 1016-1150
A355 1000-1145
C355 1015-1150
356 1035-1135
The usual disclaimer as to typos applies, mileage may vary.
