Abstract

Age-hardenable aluminium alloy castings are hardened by removing the castings from the mould while still at a temperature exceeding 350 DEG C. and quenching in water. The castings may be transferred from the mould to an oven having a temperature of 420-520 DEG C., retained there for a short time, and then quenched in water at or near boiling point. The castings may be left in the water for a considerable time, e.g. about an hour. An aluminium alloy containing 2 per cent of copper, 1 of nickel, 1,3 of iron, 1,2 of silicon, 1,6 of magnesium, and 0,1 of titanium, and an aluminium alloy containing 7 per cent of copper, 0,5 of nickel, 1,0 of iron, 0,6 of silicon, and 0,5 magnesium are referred to.
