ADC12 Overview
ADC12 is an alloy used in creating die-casting components. Also known as A383, this aluminum material is cost-efficient and facilitates
manufacturing processes. It is the most widely-used choice of metal for many die-castings produced internationally.
ADC12 Equivalent Materials

ADC12 can be replaced with equivalent materials, including 383 USA/ASTM and ADC12 China GB/T and Vietnam/Japan JIS.
Characteristics of ADC12
ADC12 provides resistance to cracking under heat and is perfect for components that enhance die-filling characteristics. The aluminum
properties are of excellent quality. It is easy to cast and holds dimensional stability, which offers an ideal balance of value and performance.
In addition to affordability, there are other advantages of ADC12, including good corrosion resistance, outstanding mechanical properties, and
good machinability due to higher silicon levels and lower levels of copper.
ADC12 is a modified ADC10 alloy used when needing additional die filling precision. This alloy does not offer as much strength as ADC10, but it
does perform well when completing complicated aluminum die-casting projects. ADC12 is also much easier to work with when compared to
A360. Selecting aluminum alloys best-suited for the job is critical at the design stage. ADC12 is a material worth considering for your
manufacturing and development needs.
Uses of ADC12
ADC12 can be used for any die casting shape and offers limitless possibilities. It is an excellent choice when building complex parts at large
volumes in a cost-efficient manner. Additionally, ADC12 has been studied extensively, which means that its application is dependable. The
alloy is best known for its ideal combination of efficient material properties while maintaining production workability.
This alloy has numerous uses and purposes. It is most commonly used in electronic equipment, motor vehicle components, appliances,
furniture, power tools, LED lighting, die casts, bicycles, machinery, communications equipment, electric vehicles, carpentry, valves, digital
technology, engine brackets, and more.
