Abstract

The present disclosure provides an aluminum (Al) alloy for continuous casting, and a method of making the same. The Al alloy includes Al, Si in the range of 14 to 20 wt %, Ti in the range of 2 to 7 wt % and B in the range of 1 to 3 wt %. According to the disclosure, TiB 2 compound may be formed in the alloy, where the ratio of Ti:B may range from 2 to 2.5 wt %. By a process of continuously casting the molten metal, an aluminum alloy with improved elasticity may be produced.

Claims (10)

An aluminum alloy, comprising Al, Si in the range of 16 to 20 wt %, Ti in the range of 2 to 7 wt %, B in the range of 1 to 3 wt %, Fe in the range of 0.5 wt % or less, Cu in the range of 4 to 5 wt %, Mn in the range of 0.1 wt % or less, Mg in the range of 0.45 to 0.65 wt %, and Zn in the range of 0.1 wt % or less,

wherein a TiB 2 compound is formed therein,

wherein the amount of Fe, Mn, and Zn is more than 0 wt %,

wherein the ratio of B:Ti is 1:2 to 2.5.

2. The aluminum alloy of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of B:Ti is 1:2.

3. The aluminum alloy of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of B:Ti is 1:2.1.
