    Abstract: An aluminum alloy for casting shaped aluminum alloy parts may comprise alloying elements of silicon and chromium and may be formulated to develop a dispersion strengthened and precipitation strengthened microstructure via heat treatment. The aluminum alloy may be formulated to develop a microstructure including an aluminum matrix phase and a fine-grained AlCrSi dispersoid phase when subjected to a solution heat treatment. The aluminum alloy also may be formulated to develop a microstructure including one or more Cu-containing precipitate phases when subjected to an aging heat treatment.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a pin (46) for a o mold (28) includes forming the pin (46) to include a substantially uniform initial hardness throughout the entire structure of the formed pin (46). The formed pin (46) is then processed with a hardening process, such that the processed pin(46) exhibits a hardness defining a hardness gradient that gradually increases from the initial hardness at a central interior region (56) of the pin (46) to an increased surface hardness at an exterior surface (60) of the pin (46). After processing the pin (46) with the hardening process, a coating (64) maybe deposited onto the exterior surface (60) of the pin (46) with a physical vapor deposition process. The coating (64) exhibits a hardness that is greater than the hardness of the increased surface hardness of the exterior surface (60) of the pin (46). The pin (46) may include, for example, a core pin, a squeeze pin, or an ejector pin.

    Abstract: An aluminum alloy having about 0.03 wt % to about 0.50 wt % Niobium (Nb); about 0.03 wt % to about 0.50% Vanadium (V); about 0.03 wt % to about 0.50% Titanium (Ti), greater than 0 wt % to about 0.50 wt % Boron (B); and the balance is Aluminum (Al) and impurities. The alloy includes a weight percent ratio of (Nb+V)/Ti from about 1 to about 5, preferably from about 2 to about 3. The alloy may include a weight percent ratio (Nb+V+Ti)/B from about 1 to about 15, preferably from about 5 to about 10. The aluminum alloy may be form by incorporating 1 part master alloy, grain refiner, having about 1.5 wt % to about 4.0 wt % Niobium (Nb); from about 0.5 wt % to about 2.0% Titanium (Ti), and from about 0.2 wt % to about 0.8 wt % Boron (B) to about 27 to 80 part conventional aluminum alloy, by weight.

    Abstract: In an example of a method for increasing strength of an aluminum alloy, the aluminum alloy is formed in a molten state. The aluminum alloy includes from about 4 wt % to about 11 wt % silicon, from greater than 0.2 wt % to about 0.5 wt % chromium, from about 0.1 wt % to about 0.5 wt % magnesium, from about 0.01 wt % to about 0.1 wt % titanium, equal to or less than about 0.5 wt % iron, equal to or less than about 0.5 wt % manganese, and a balance of aluminum. The aluminum alloy is subjected to a solution heat treatment. The aluminum alloy is quenched, and the aluminum alloy is age hardened at an age hardening temperature ranging from about 140° C. to 175° C. for a time period ranging from about 3 hours to about 35 hours.

    Abstract: Methods for casting high strength, high ductility lightweight metal components are provided. The casting may be die-casting. A molten lightweight metal alloy is introduced into a cavity of a mold. The molten lightweight metal alloy is solidified and then a solid component is removed from the mold. The solid component is designed to have a thin wall. For example, the solid component has at least one dimension of less than or equal to about 2 mm. In this way, a chill zone microstructure is formed that extends across the at least one dimension of the solid lightweight metal alloy component. The solid component thus may be substantially free of dendritic microstructure formation, enabling more extensive alloy chemistries than previously possible during casting. Such methods may be used to form high strength, high ductility, and lightweight metal alloy vehicle components.
