Material grade · A356
Review A356 cast components with their exact designation, forming route and supply condition. A pump-housing drawing needs both the cast geometry and the final sealing, bore and mounting interfaces.
Material overview
For A356 pump housings, review gravity and low-pressure casting as separate routes. Plan machining stock and datums around seal bores, flange faces and ports.
Keep the exact alloy suffix and delivery condition in the order. Agree property tests and any leak or pressure checks; do not assume a T6 condition.
