Microstructure of alloy 477: as received and as thixoformed (x100):

Microstructure of alloy 477: as received Microstructure of alloy 47 as thixoformed (x100) Automotive Component (Brake Drum)

Automotive Component (Brake Drum); An automotive part (brake drum) was thixoformed by Stampal S.p.A. ^ using the A390 standard alloy. The part shown below is in the T6 heat treated condition, weighs 1.7 kg, and is substituting a cast iron part. The part offers lower weight and good wear resistance.
