  • the alloy is suitable for the production of safety parts in vehicle construction by die casting, rheo- and thixocasting.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an aluminum alloy with good Treasurewarmfesttechnik for the production of thermally and mechanically stressed components.
  • the alloy should be suitable above all for die casting, but also for gravity die casting, low pressure die casting and sand casting.
