Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9902749A1] The present invention comprises a method for manufacturing a solid extruded configuration constructed of an Al-Si alloy. Initially, a billet comprising aluminum and silicon is prepared for extrusion. The Al-Si billet is then heated and inserted into an extruding press. Finally, the Al-Si billet is extruded through an extruding die, having a preconfigured die slot configuration resulting in an extruded Al-Si product. The Al-Si product may then be treated for desired tempering or age hardening to produce a final extruded product with improved mechanical and machinability properties as compared to non-extruded Al-Si products. The extruded Al-Si product may further be cold/warm impact extruded or cold/warm/hot forged to achieve a final desired configuration.
