The present invention relates to a castable heat resistant aluminum alloy for high temperature applications such as components in combustion engines, in particular for the manufacturing of highly loaded cylinder heads, the alloy comprises the following composition: .Si: 6.5-10 wt %.Mg: 0.25-0.35 wt %.Cu: 0.3-0.7 wt %.Hf: 0.025-0.55 wt % Optionally with the addition of: .Ti: 0-0.2 wt %.Zr: 0-0.3 wt %, the balance being made of Al and unavoidable impurities including Fe.

Castable heat resistant aluminium alloy

Present invention relates to a method and means for producing moulded bodies of a metal foam (), in particular an aluminium foam. The Method involves the use of mould () having a cavity () and at least one entrance opening (). The mould id filled with a metal foam in a manner where the entrance opening of the mould is submerged into a metal melt () and the melt is caused to foam inside the mould () and fill its cavity ().
