    It is strongly influenced by the particular characteristics of the metal:

    • low modulus of elasticity ;

    • good yield strength/density ratio ;

    • good resistance to impact deformation ;

    • high vibration-damping capacity ;

    • chemical and galvanic corrosion resistance.

    The design of a part is the result of taking into account the parameters required to achieve good metallurgical health, good mechanical strength in service, good corrosion resistance and economical casting and machining.
