the section looks awfully thin, i don't care what the alloy is, i would have added another .050" to the thickness at least...
i've had my fair share of bad castings from china... large diameter fire hose couplings, the clamps either couldn't be tightened, or shanks split under pressure (coupling comes off with enough force to punch through a 3/4" sheet of plywood), bad castings, poor grain structure, inclusions, porosity, you name it...
on the other hand get other stuff from another plant and it's better than the stuff we get from germany... (we get crappy stuff from the states too, just we're talking about china).
