Aluminum alloy for continuous casting and method for producing the same
View Patent ↗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.

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.
4. The aluminum alloy of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of B:Ti is 1:2.2.
