Aluminum alloy, method for producing an engine component, engine component, and use of an aluminum alloy to produce an engine component

Abstract

An aluminum alloy, and in particular a cast aluminum alloy, for producing an engine component, in particular a piston for an internal combustion engine, consists of the following alloying elements: Silicon: 10% by weight to <13% by weight, nickel: to <0.6% by weight, copper: 1.5% by weight to <3.6% by weight, magnesium: 0.5% by weight to 1.5% by weight, iron: 0.1% by weight to 0.7% by weight, manganese: 0.1 to 0.4% by weight, zirconium: >0.1 to <0.3% by weight, vanadium: >0.08 to <0.2% by weight, titanium: 0.05 to <0.2% by weight, phosphorus: 0.0025 to 0.008% by weight, and as balance aluminum and unavoidable impurities.
