Abstract
The present invention provides an Al--Si based sintered alloy of high strength and high ductility, a method for production thereof and use thereof. The alloy comprises 1-45% of Si, 0.1-20% of an element of Group IIIa, 0.01-5% of at least one element of Groups IVa and Va, the balance of substantially Al. This alloy can further contain at least one of 0.01-5% of Cu, 0.01-5% of Mg, 2.0% or less of Fe, 1.5% or less of Mn and 1.5% or less of Co and the oxygen content is reduced to 0.15% or less by sintering under vacuum. The present invention is applied to automobile parts such as a piston and scroll compressors. The alloy has a tensile strength of about 40 kg/mm.sup.2 or higher and an elongation of 1.5% or more at 150.degree. C.
