Brasses and bronzes, iron-base alloys, nickel, monel, magnesium alloys, hard rubber, plastics, tin, aluminum, and like metals must be added to ordinary gray and white cast iron as materials for pump construction. Practically any alloy or modern metal can be fabricated into pumps, and it remains only for the chemical engineer to stipulate the kind of solution he wishes to handle, or the kind of metal, and the pump manufacturer will attempt to construct a pump for the service demanded.

The quantities of SFe used in various operating conditions are given in Table 3.26 (pressure diecasting) and Table 3.27 (gravity die-casting). These concentrations need to be maintained close to the melt surface [191, IMA, et al.]. The tabled values are the recommended practice for the use of SFe from the International Magnesium Association (IMA). In practice, higher concentrations are sometimes used (e.g. 99.4 % CO2, 0.6 % SFg) [202, TWG, 2002].
