Abstract (en)

To present a method of producing Al alloy with low Ca content capable of reducing Ca securely at low cost, and an Al alloy base metal applicable to such producingmethod. This is a method of producing Al alloy with low Ca content containing Ca by 0.002 mass % or less. The method comprises a base metal melting step S1 for melting an Al alloy base metal containing Ca by 0.003 mass % or more and containing Mg by 1 mass % or less, a molten metal holding step S2 for reducing the Ca content to 0.002 mass % or less by exposing the surface of molten metal obtained at the base metal melting step S1 to the atmosphere for 20 minutes or more, and a casting step S3 for casting the molten metal into a mold of desired shape. It is preferable that the Al alloy base metal contains Mg by 0.2 mass % or less. It is preferable that the method further comprises a Mg adding step for adding a desired amount of Mg to the molten metal posterior to the molten metal holding step. <IMAGE>
