Abstract
The invention provides an aluminum alloy having a homogenous distribution of bismuth therein comprising at least 5 wt/wt % bismuth, wherein about 3.5 wt/wt % of the bismuth is distributed in the form of very small particles of up to 5 microns diameter and at least 2 wt/wt % of the bismuth is distributed in the form of spherical particles of about 10 to 40 microns in diameter and the very small particles and the spherical particles are homogenously distributed throughout the aluminum matrix.
