Comparing Common Cast Aluminum Alloys ADC12 and A380 for Pressure Die-Casting

ADC12 and A380 are the two most widely used cast aluminum alloy grades in the global pressure die-casting industry, but belong to different standard systems — ADC12 under Japan’s JIS standard, A380 under the US ASTM standard. This article compares the relative differences in chemical composition and mechanical properties, and offers concrete guidance on when […]
