NADCA specifications change magnesium content for 380 and A380 aluminum alloys.The North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Die Casting die casting Forming metal objects by injecting molten metal under pressure into dies or molds. An early and important use of the technique was in the Linotype machine (1884), but the mass-production automobile assembly line gave die casting its real impetus. Association (NADCA NADCA National Air Duct Cleaners Association NADCA North American Die Casting Association NADCA National Aboriginal Dance Council Australia NADCA National Animal Damage Control Association NADCA North American Draft Cross Association, Inc ), Wheeling, Ill., has announced revised specifications increasing the magnesium content to 0.30% from 0.10% for aluminum alloys 380 and A380. The increased level of magnesium will have a positive environmental effect by reducing the amount of chlorine used to control the magnesium level, while also slightly reducing the production cost for alloy producers. Increased magnesium content in the alloy also improves the ability to machine cast parts. Magnesium limits of 0.30% require approximately 40 to 50% less chlorine than alloys with 0.10% magnesium, depending upon the raw material being used. Less chlorine, combined with less land-filling of magnesium chloride magnesium chloride Warning - High-alert drug! Chloromag, Mag 64, Mag Delay, Slo-Mag Pharmacologic class: Mineral Therapeutic class: , could bring the cost of production down by $0.0025 per lb. While this is not a significant reduction in overall cost, it is an incremental step to lower costs for products made in the U.S., improving domestic competitiveness with other countries. |
