LOOKING FOR TECHNICAL DETAILS OF 380 ALUMINUM DIECAST

I RECEIVED SOME INQUIRIES FROM USA TO MAKE SOME PARTS IN 380 DIECAST ALUMINUM BUT I CANNOT MATCH 380 WITH CHINESE NUMBER. I CANNOT FIND CHEMICAL ELEMENTS OF 380 ALUMINUM IN CHINA. WHO CAN TELL ME THE ELEMENTS AND TECHNICAL DETAILS SO I CAN KNOW THE EQUIVALENT OF 380 IN CHINA?

THANKS.

380 has various additions, like 380.0, 380.1 etc. This is a castable Al alloy. 0 suffix is for diecasting. Its equivalent of LM24.
