Designation

Product Description

E

Easy cast alloy: These alloy s contain deoxidizing and

 

brightening agents and are designed to yield superior flow

 

characteristics in addition to as-cast brightness resulting in

 

good fill and consistently clean castings.

C

Clean cast alloys: These alloys contain a brightening agent

 

but no additional deoxidizing constituents other than that

 

provided in the major chemistry. They will produce clean,

 

sound castings.

NZ

Neutral alloys: These alloys contain no additional brightening

 

or deoxidizing agents other than that found in the major

 

chemistry (usually.- a' small amount of zinc).

N

Neutral alloys: These alloys contain no additional deoxidizing

 

or brightening a;=eats and contain no zinc.
