Products

The product portfolio of aluminium alloys of Affimet to the aluminium foundry is complete. All primary and secondary foundry alloys can be produced and marketed. Secondary alloys are produced from production and manufacturing waste, offcuts, rejects and other items scrapped at the end of their useful life. Typical alloys are AlSi9Cu3, AlSi12, AlSi12Cu and AlSi10Mg.

Primary alloys are made with very high grade metal from electrolysis and various additional elements to achieve the specifications of the customers. Any alloying modification, refine, filtration and degassing operations are possible in order to get the highest metallurgical properties possible. Affimet is known for its ultra-high quality range of Calypso® materials, but can supply all primary alloys like AlSi7Mg0.3 and 0.6, AlCu4MgTi, AlMg3, AlZn10Si8Mg, AlSi18CuNiMg, etc.
