LM 0 |
Alloy suitable for Sand Casting, components for Electrical, Chemical and Food Processing Industries. |
LM 2 |
One of the two most widely used alloys for all types of die-castings. |
LM 4 |
The most versatile of the alloys, has very good casting characteristics and isused for a very wide range of applications. |
|
Strength and Hardness can be grately incresed by Heat Treatment. |
LM 5 |
Suitable for Sand and Chill Castings requiring maximul corrosion resistance i.e.castings of marine application. |
LM 6 |
Suitable for large, intricate and thin walled castings in all types of moulds, also used where corrosion resistance or ductility is required. |
LM 9 |
Used for allplications especially low pressure die casting requiring the characteristics of LM 6 with higher tensile strength after heat treatment. |
LM 12 |
Mainly used for sand and chill castings requiring high strength and shock resistance. Requires special foundry techniques and heat treatment. |
LM 13 |
Mainly used for piston and applications where thermal stresses are more. This alloy can witstand higher termperatures and loads.It has good wear resistance properties and machinability. Requires heat treatment. |
LM 16 |
Suitable where high mechanical properties are desired in fairly intricate sand and chill castings. Requires heat treatment. |
LM 20 |
Mainly used for pressure die casting. Similar to LM 6 but with better machinability and hardness. |
LM 21 |
Generally similar to LM 4M in character and application but better machinability and proof strength. |
LM 22 |
Used for chill castings requiring good foundry characteristics and good ductility. Requires heat treatment. |
LM 24 |
Suitable for large, intricate and thin walled castings in all types of moulds, also used where corrosion resistance or ductiity is required. |
LM 25 |
Suitable where good corrosion resistance combined with thermal properties are required. Strength is attained by heat treatment. |
LM 26 |
Mainly used for pistons as alternate to LM 13. |
LM 27 |
A versatile sand and chill cast alloy introduced as an alternative to LM 4 and LM 21. |
LM 28 |
Piston alloy with lower coefficient of thermal expansion than LM 13. This alloy use requires special foundry technique. |
LM 29 |
Same characteristics as LM 28 but with still lower coefficient of thermal expansion than LM 28. |
LM 30 |
For unlined die cast cylinder blocks with low expansion and excellent wear resistance. |
LM 31 |
