319 Alloy Properties

S319 is a medium-strength aluminum that is primarily composed of aluminum with:

  • 6% Silicon
  • 3.5% Copper
  • 1% Iron (Maximum Amount)

Despite the miniscule amounts of silicon and copper, 319 aluminum generally displays a silvery-gray color. Overall, aluminum alloy 319 has excellent thermal conductivity and machinability properties. It’s also a great less expensive alternative when high tensile strengths are not required, as it offers the same corrosion and vibration dampening properties as 356 aluminum.

Advantages

In addition to its exceptional thermal and machinability properties, there are other advantages to casting with aluminum alloy 319. Those are:

  • Lower Costs & Better Lead Times Due to No Post-Cast Heat Treatments
  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Good Weldability

Common Applications

319 aluminum alloy is preferred for a variety of casted parts and products for the automotive industry. Some common applications are engine cooling, thermostat housings, intake manifolds, brackets, transmission cases, gear cases and valve bodies.

Other applications for 319 aluminum include marine hardware, electrical chassis and boxes, agricultural implements and equipment, diesel engines and more.

Generally, it’s useful in many industry applications where light weight and thermal conductivity of aluminum is desired and ultimate strength is not a concern.
