K-ALLOY™ (A-304) Corrosion Resistant Aluminum Die Casting Alloy

Superior Corrosion Resistance and Thermal Properties

K-ALLOY™ (A-304) is an excellent general die casting alloy designed to protect today’s most critical components from harsh environments without the need for expensive coatings. It eliminates the need for expensive pre- and post-processing such as anodizing, chromating, and paint.

Corrosion Resistant

Offers unique engineering solutions, no paint or coatings required.

Thermal Conductivity

15% better than A380.

High Elongation

5% as cast
8%-14% heat treated

Longer Die Life

Equal to A380. Die life is 2-3x longer than other alloys.
The amount of iron makes it easily castable.

Key Benefits
