Applications
For aluminum-zinc alloy ASTM B26/B26M 707.0, typical cast components in this material family include decorative castings, furniture parts, farm-machinery components, machine-tool parts and large or intricate castings. Applications include selected machinery, industrial hardware and appearance-oriented products. Drive hubs, rollers and pump components remain attached to the grades for which they are documented; aluminum-zinc castings are not zinc-base die-casting or wrought aerospace alloys.
