Aluminum alloy for die casting and die casting mold manufactured using the same
The present disclosure relates to an aluminum alloy for die casting, more particularly, to an aluminum alloy for die casting which has high corrosion resistance, strength and castability. The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an aluminum alloy for die casting comprising a composition ratio having an aluminum (Al) content which occupies almost the composition ratio of the aluminum alloy; a magnesium (Mg) content of 2.5˜3.0%; a silicon (Si) content of 9.6˜0.5%; a zinc (Zn) content of 0.5% or less; and a copper (Cu) content of 0.15% or less.
1. An aluminum alloy for die casting comprising:
aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), beryllium (Be), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), titanium (Ti), boron (B), and calcium (Ca), wherein the aluminum alloy comprises by weight:
2.6 to 3.0% magnesium (Mg);
9.9 to 10.5% silicon (Si);
0.5% or less zinc (Zn);
0.15% or less copper (Cu);
0.5 to 0.6% manganese (Mn);
0.03% or less nickel (Ni);
0.03% or less tin (Sn);
0.05% or less lead (Pb);
0.01 to 0.02% titanium (Ti);
0.002 to 0.004% boron (B);
0.01% or less calcium (Ca);
iron (Fe) greater than 0.65% and less than or equal to 0.7%;
0.005% to 0.008% beryllium (Be); and
a balance including aluminum (Al) and unavoidable impurities.
2. The aluminum alloy of claim 1 , wherein Fe is about 0.7% of the aluminum alloy by weight.
3. A die casting product manufactured by using the aluminum alloy of claim 1 .
4. The die casting product of claim 3 , wherein a temperature of a molten metal for manufacturing the die casting product corresponds to a temperature of a molten metal of an ALDC-3 alloy.
