The Canadian foundry and aerospace parts business is set to pour the "world's strongest commercially available aluminum casting alloy" 

Canada’s Magellan Aerospace acquired a license to manufacture castings in A20X? aluminum, a material described as "world's strongest commercially available aluminum casting alloy" by its developer and patent-holder, Aeromet International Ltd.

According to Haydn Martin, Magellan's v.p. - Business Development, "The constant challenge for aerospace engineers is to find an optimum balance between strength and weight when designing a component. The higher-strength characteristics of this alloy open up new opportunities for engineers to utilize the advantages of cast components in critical aerospace applications where, traditionally, light alloy castings have not been able to meet the requirements."

Magellan will cast A20X parts at its foundry in Haley, ON. Typically, according to the alloy’s developer, it is used for castings that require high strength and high-temperature resistance.

Magellan produces sand castings at foundries in Ontario and Arizona, and complex assemblies for aircraft and engine
