Aluminium Alloy - LM16

LM16 alloy is used for water-cooled cylinder heads, valve bodies, water jackets, cylinder blocks, fire hose couplings, air compressor pistons, fuel pump bodies, aircraft supercharger covers and similar applications where leak-proof castings having the high strength produced by heat-treatment are required.

It is equally suitable for sand casting and for permanent mould casting. LM16 has good weldability.
