Alloy 4008 is produced with controlled lower levels of impurities than those present in alloys 4010 and 356.0, A356.0 and A357.0. It is a product that meets the chemistry requirements of AMS4181.
Alloys 356.0, A356.0 and A357.0 are typically used to manufacture sand and permanent mold castings. Alloy 4008 is an excellent choice to join or repair these castings and, if needed, it can be heat treated in order to increase its mechanical properties.
