Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2172572A1] The magnesium-contained high-silicon aluminum alloys for use as structural materials, including profiles, bars, sheets, and forgings, are manufactured by a process including the steps of: casting an alloy ingot by direct chill casting, preheating the ingot to disperse eutectic Si phase particles, and thermal-plastic processing and heat-treating to obtain the product with a final shape and a modified microstructure. The aluminum alloys contain 0.2ˆ¼2.0wt% of Mg and 8ˆ¼18wt% of Si, and have homogeneous and fine microstructure, wherein the aluminum matrix is equiaxed with an average grain size less than 6µm, and the silicon and second phase particles are dispersed with an average size less than 5µm. Without adding any modifiers, they are low-costly produced by incorporating the direct chill casting with thermal-plastic processing and heat treatment, which give rise to good plasticity and relatively high strength.
