Thank you all for taking the time to respond. This component is an aluminum end bell for an electric motor: it is important that the part does not allow water to pass through after machining so it sounds like some kind of burst test would be helpful?
@Tmoose: yes, the foundry has seen the part...
First post, so please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum for this question.
I'm designing a component that will be die cast out of an aluminum alloy and need to specify the material to be used along with a variety of properties expected of the cast material.
Through conversations...
