A356.0

AA A356.0 | Sand or permanent mold casting; temper not specified for composition

Each value is checked in at least three authoritative issuer publications. Some issuers reproduce a shared standard; these are not independent experiments. Do not use as certified design allowables. View sources ↗

No reviewed mechanical claim for this record.

Chemical composition

Only reviewed weight-percent bounds are listed. A blank bound means only the other threshold was reported.

Exact AA A356.0 casting composition limits, wt.%, match the 2025 Aluminum Association Pink Sheets, Hadleigh Castings and ProCast official publications. They restate a specification family, not independent chemical assays. 356.0 is a different casting; A356.1 and A356.2 are ingot grades with different limits. Aluminum is remainder in AA/Hadleigh, while ProCast prints a numerical range; no numerical Al bound is inferred. Cr and Ni dashes mean unspecified, not zero. Mechanical and thermal product data need their own matched-condition review.
