Like GAlSi9, it is a very suitable alloy for making massive parts or parts with high thermal stress.
Compared with its “bigger” relatives GAlSi9, GAlSi9Cu1, thanks to copper, has better heat dissipation, a slight self-tempering effect, and therefore ready to work even without heat treatment.
Its relevant characteristic is its ability to give rise to well compacted masses and an extremely fine and homogeneous grain, which allows the achievement of superior quality processing and or the possibility of receiving treatments of Chrome Plating, Nickel Plating, Nicasil carryover, etc.
However, T6 heat treatment is possible and further improves the properties.
