Aluminum Castings & Forgings

Aluminum offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and recyclability. Monmet supplies cast and forged aluminum components in heat-treated tempers for industrial service.

Quick answer

Aluminum offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and recyclability for structural, marine and general industrial parts. Cast and forged grades are available in heat-treated and non-heat-treatable tempers, selected for strength, weldability or marine service. Monmet supplies aluminum components with the temper and inspection scope your specification calls for.

Casting Alloys

Heat-treated structural grades, general-purpose grades, and marine (non-heat-treatable) grades are available.

Forging Alloys

Copper-bearing high-strength grades, structural grades and marine grades are available.

Heat Treatment & QA

Solution + age heat-treated tempers; inspection to the scope your specification calls for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heat-treated structural grades give higher tensile strength after ageing — the choice when the casting is structural.

High-strength Zn-Mg-Cu grades deliver the highest tensile strength of common aluminum alloys; other grades trade a little strength for better stress-corrosion resistance.

Chemistry and mechanical certificates per heat, temper records, and dimensional and NDT reports where the drawing calls for them.
