Definitions
- alloy composition does not address the independent limitation to die life caused by physical erosion from the flow of molten metal. Physical erosion is a separate problem that is best addressed through die design modifications and improvements to casting process parameters. A solution to the difficulties attendant physical erosion are beyond the scope of the instant invention.
- This invention is concerned with: providing aluminum alloys ideally suited for use in metal mold operations, including, for example, squeeze casting and die casting operations; providing improved, low iron content aluminum alloys that enhance die tool life in a die casting operation; and providing improved cast products and components consisting of an improved low iron aluminum alloy cast members that ideally are suited for frames, subframes, and frame members in vehicle primary structures or secondary structures, as well as various component parts for a variety of applications, including transportation products.
- the alloy composition is formulated to contain about 0.10 to 0.35 wt. % magnesium, preferably about 0.15 to 0.20 wt. % magnesium, about 8.50 to 11.00 wt. % silicon, preferably about 9.5 to 10.5 wt. % silicon, about 0.40 to 0.80 wt. % manganese, preferably about 0.6 wt. % manganese, and with preferably less than 0.50 wt. % iron, the balance substantially aluminum and incidental elements and impurities, such as strontium, sodium, and antimony for modification of the silicon morphology.
- the cast component upon completion of the casting operation, is quenched to cool it sufficiently to permit the trimming of the cast component in a trim die.
- the cast product can be subjected to heat treatment and aging in order to obtain a product that demonstrates desired properties .
- the alloys of this invention are characterized by a surprisingly reduced level of the chemical dissolution that causes erosion of the die during die casting operations.
- aluminum alloy products were made having the compositions shown in Table I. Each of these examples demonstrated the enhanced tool life described in detail below.
- the unexpected benefit of a reduced level of erosion of the die during die casting operations is obtained due to this invention's levels of iron and magnesium compared to existing low iron alloys.
- the manganese is believed to provide improved die life when casting Al-Si alloys with low Fe content.
- the surface of H13 steel plugs placed in a historically high erosion region of an ejector pulldown of a casting die is illustrative of the erosion caused by chemical dissolution that the die encounters during casting operations. Die erosion is evident by the presence of dissolution pits in the steel surface after casting 500 shots with existing low Fe alloys, i.e., low Mn levels.
- the alloy contains approximately 0.10 to 0.50 wt. % iron and 0.40 to 0.80 wt. % manganese.
- the alloy contains a total of no more than preferably 0.90 wt. % iron plus manganese. So that within the parameters set out above, as the weight percent of iron increases, the weight percent of manganese decreases, the total level of 0.90 wt. % of iron and manganese is maintained. Likewise, as the weight percent of manganese increases, the weight percent of iron decreases in order to maintain the preferred range.
- an alloy commercially available from the assignee of the instant invention and disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,076,344 fails to demonstrate the reduced die tooling chemical erosion that is unexpectedly obtained through the use of the instant invention.
- the improved performance of the instant alloy is believed to be a function of a lower iron solubility in the Mn containing interdendritic liquid during solidification.
- the lower solubility in the instant alloy results in a slower chemical dissolution rate of the steel surface.
- a. Percentages for a composition refer to % by weight.
- b. The term "ingot-derived” means solidified from liquid metal by a known or subsequently developed casting process rather than through powder metallurgy techniques. This term shall include, but not be limited to, direct chill casting, electromagnetic casting, spray casting and any variations thereof, c.

Abstract
Alliage de fonderie particulièrement adapté à la fabrication de pièces brutes, par exemple, de pièces de châssis ou de faux-châssis de véhicule, comprenant entre 0,15 et 0,35 % environ en masse de magnésium, entre 8,50 et 11,00 % environ en masse de silicium, entre 0,40 et 0,80 % environ en masse de manganèse, et de préférence moins de 0,50 % environ en masse de fer, le restant étant sensiblement constitué d'aluminium et d'éléments accidentels ou d'impuretés, notamment strontium, sodium et antimoine, pour la modification de la morphologie du silicium. L'alliage est généralement solidifié de façon à donner des produits de type lingot par coulée continue ou semi-continue, sous une forme adaptée à la refonte, généralement sous forme de billettes. Cet alliage, malgré sa faible teneur en fer, permet de réduire l'usure par érosion des coquilles.
