The world's strongest cast aluminium alloy

A20X™

A20X™ aluminium castings open new opportunities for flight-critical components reducing complexity, machining and assembly. A20X™ castings are a viable aluminium solution for higher temperature environments.

Unlocking the potential of aluminium casting

The unique solidification mechanism of the patented, MMPDS approved A20X™ (A205) aluminium alloy transforms the design possibilities for aerospace components. By converting a component to an A20X™ casting, significant weight and cost reductions can be achieved.
