Aluminum alloy for die castings and production process of aluminum alloy castings

Abstract

The present invention provides an aluminum alloy for die castings that has superior castability and corrosion resistance. The amounts of Mn, Fe and Cu contained in the aluminum alloy components for die castings were determined to have a considerable effect on the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy. Therefore, the aluminum alloy for die castings of the present invention contains 9.0 to 12.0% by weight of Si, 0.20 to 0.80% by weight of Mg, and 0.7 to 1.1% by weight of Mn+Fe, the Mn/Fe ratio is 1.5 or more, the amount of Cu as impurity is controlled to 0.5% by weight or less, and the remainder is composed of aluminum and unavoidable impurities.
