4811 aluminum alloy is a copper-bearing casting alloy known for its high strength and good corrosion resistance. It is not heat-treatable but achieves mechanical strength through its alloy content, primarily consisting of copper, zinc, and silicon. The alloy offers excellent foundry properties, good fluidity for complex castings, and reliable machinability. Linsy supplies 4811 aluminum casting ingot, wire, and brazing filler in custom sizes, with MTC reports and SGS testing available on request.

4811 aluminum alloy is a copper-bearing casting alloy characterized by high strength and good corrosion resistance. Unlike heat-treatable grades, 4811 achieves its mechanical properties through alloy content — primarily copper, zinc, and silicon — rather than precipitation hardening. This gives the alloy excellent foundry characteristics: good fluidity for filling complex mold geometries, low shrinkage tendency, and reliable machinability after casting.
Because 4811 is a casting alloy, it is not supplied in standard wrought forms such as sheet, plate, or tube. Instead, it is typically delivered as casting ingot, billet for foundry remelting, or drawn into wire and filler rod for brazing and welding applications. Buyers sourcing 4811 should confirm casting process compatibility and required mechanical targets with their foundry or Linsy’s technical team before placing an order.
Linsy supplies 4811 aluminum in casting and filler product forms. Dimensions and specifications can be tailored to your project requirements.

4811 aluminum alloy is referenced under multiple national and international designation systems. Equivalent grades and applicable standards are listed below. Buyers should verify which standard their project requires before ordering.
| Designation System | Equivalent Grade |
|---|---|
| Aluminiumvereniging (AA) | Needs verification — 4811 may not be a registered AA wrought designation |
| UNS | Needs verification |
| EN / EN AW | Needs verification |
| DIN | Needs verification |
| GB / GB/T | Needs verification |
| JIS | Needs verification |
Note: The designation “4811” does not appear in widely referenced international wrought alloy registries (AA Teal Sheets, UNS). It may originate from a national standard, an older designation system, or an in-house classification. Linsy recommends confirming the required standard and equivalent grade with your engineering team before purchase. The equivalent table above will be updated once authoritative references are confirmed.
The typical chemical composition of 4811 aluminum alloy, as described by the source material, is summarized below. Precise composition limits should be confirmed against the relevant standard or specification before ordering.
| Element | Nominal Range (%) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cu (Copper) | Primary alloying element | Needs verification against standard |
| Zn (Zinc) | Significant | Needs verification against standard |
| Si (Silicon) | Significant | Needs verification against standard |
| Fe (Iron) | ≤ 0.5 (typical) | Needs verification |
| Mn (Manganese) | ≤ 0.3 (typical) | Needs verification |
| Overige (per stuk) | ≤ 0.05 (typical) | Needs verification |
| Al (Aluminum) | Saldo | — |
Exact composition limits require verification against the applicable national or international standard. The values above reflect the alloy’s described character as a copper-bearing casting alloy and should not be used as specification limits until confirmed.
Because 4811 is a non-heat-treatable casting alloy, mechanical properties depend primarily on casting method, solidification conditions, and alloy content rather than temper designation. Typical property ranges for as-cast 4811 are shown below. Actual values vary with casting process (sand cast, die cast, investment cast) and should be confirmed for each application.
| Toestand | Ultimate Tensile Strength (MPa) | Opbrengststerkte (MPa) | Rek (%) | Typisch gebruik |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As-cast (F) | Needs verification | Needs verification | Needs verification | Structural castings, marine hardware |
Specific mechanical property values for 4811 require verification from authoritative datasheets or testing. Contact Linsy’s technical team for available test data or to arrange SGS testing on your order.
4811 aluminum is a non-heat-treatable casting alloy. It does not respond to precipitation hardening (T-type tempers) or strain hardening (H-type tempers). The applicable conditions are:
| Toestand | Beschrijving | Beste voor |
|---|---|---|
| F (as-fabricated / as-cast) | No additional thermal or mechanical treatment after casting | General casting applications where moderate strength is sufficient |
| O (gegloeid) | Annealed for maximum ductility and uniformity | Applications requiring improved ductility or stress relief |
Important: The original page listed “T6” and “H14” as available tempers for 4811. These temper designations apply to wrought heat-treatable and strain-hardened alloys respectively, and are not applicable to a non-heat-treatable casting alloy. They have been removed from the specification tables above. If your project requires specific temper treatment, consult Linsy’s engineering team to confirm alloy and process compatibility.
4811 achieves meaningful tensile strength directly through its alloy content — primarily copper and zinc — without requiring post-casting heat treatment. This makes it suitable for structural castings where additional processing steps are impractical.
The copper-bearing composition of 4811 provides corrosion resistance that is adequate for many marine and industrial environments, though it is generally lower than dedicated marine-grade alloys such as 5083 or 5052. For critical marine applications, verify specific corrosion performance data with Linsy or request SGS testing.
4811 exhibits good fluidity during casting, enabling it to fill complex mold geometries reliably. Low shrinkage and good feeding characteristics reduce the risk of porosity and incomplete fill in intricate castings.
After casting, 4811 can be machined with standard tooling. The alloy’s copper content supports clean chip formation and reasonable tool life, making post-cast machining operations efficient for precision features.
4811 is primarily a casting alloy and is not formed by rolling or extrusion into wrought shapes. For welding and brazing applications, 4811 is commonly drawn into wire or filler rod. Direct welding of 4811 castings should be evaluated carefully — the copper and zinc content can increase crack sensitivity in the weld heat-affected zone. Consult your welding engineer or Linsy’s processing team for specific joint and process recommendations.
| Industry / Area | Typische toepassingen | Why 4811 Is Used |
|---|---|---|
| Casting & Foundry | Complex structural castings, marine hardware, pump bodies, valve components | Good fluidity fills intricate molds; as-cast strength eliminates need for heat treatment |
| Welding & Brazing Filler | Filler wire and rod for brazing aluminum assemblies, heat exchanger joints | Alloy composition matches parent metal chemistry for sound brazed joints |
| Warmtewisselaarsystemen | Brazed heat exchanger fins, tube-to-header joints | Good brazing flow characteristics and compatible melting range |
| General Industrial | Machined cast brackets, housings, gear blanks | As-cast strength plus good machinability for post-cast finishing |
