ADC-10 Aluminum Alloy Environmental Properties

I have some diecast boxes made from ADC-10 Aluminum Alloy and I wanted to know if they would tolerate 0 to 95% relative humidity without corrosion.

Ed,
If you plan to anodize these boxes, they should withstand humidity. But does your querry include a salt spray test?

ADC10 is an aluminum material used for die cast parts. What is an equivalent aluminum type to be used for sand casting?
Thank you
