The invention provides an aluminum casting alloy which has the potential for an optimized combination of high mechanical properties and high electric conductivity and which has a high castability as well. The aluminum casting alloy includes (in % by mass), Ce: 0.2-3.0%, Si: 0.5-1.5%, Fe: 0.1-1.2%, Mg: 0.2-1.0%, optionally one or more elements taken from the group 'Zn, Sr' the content of the respective optional element being, Zn: 0.8%, Sr: 0.1%, the remainder being Al and unavoidable impurities, said impurities optionally including elements from the group “Ti, Cr, Mn, V” the content of which is restricted in sum to less than 0.025%. The invention also provides an aluminum cast component which has an optimized combination of high mechanical properties and high electric conductivity and a method which allows the reliable production of such aluminum components from an aluminum alloy according to the invention.
