heat treatable and weldable features are given. Mechanical properties of Al casting are improved significantly: Tensile strength and elongation as cast are increased by 30% and 150% ̄200% separately. Tensile strength
yield strength and impact toughness by heat treatment are increased by 30%
100% and more than 100% separately. Many Al or Mg alloy die castings
such as the auto wheel
the brake cylinder
the hydraulic valve
the actuator body and the heat exchanger
have been produced. Being made in pore free die casting and heat treated by T6
Al Si12CuFe alloy wheel has follow properties: σ b=276 MPa
σ s=221 MPa
δ =7.0% and a similar fatigue characteristic to the rolled 5454 Al wheel.
