Abstract
A hyper-eutectic aluminum-silicon based alloy for castings has an essential disadvantage in its poor strength. The present invention provides an alloy comprised of 16-25% Si, 3.0-5.5% Cu, 0.2-0.8% Mg, 0.3-0.8 Mn, not more than 0.25% Ti and not more than 0.3% Fe to remove the above mentioned disadvantage. Another provided alloy containing 0.5-1.5% Zn in addition to the above mentioned ingredients not only removes the above mentioned disadvantage but also improves machinability. A still further provided alloy containing 0.3-2.0% Pb in addition to the first mentioned ingredients not only removes the above essential disadvantage but also improves machinability as well as additionally enhancing the wear resistance. In the disclosed alloys the content of iron as one of the impurities is restricted to a low level, because iron destroys the effect of the invention to remove said disadvantage.
