As a highly efficient solution for die casting, A380 is the most popular die casting aluminum because it combines the properties of easy casting, ease of machining, and good thermal conductivity. It has a high degree of variability, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to high-temperature splitting. Although Type A380 has always been considered easy to machine, it is slightly rough due to its high silicon content. It is utilized in a wide variety of products including motor equipment chassis, engine mounts, gearboxes, furniture, generators, and hand tools.
