Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove or reduce hot cracks without deteriorating high tensile strength by specifying respective contents of Zn, Mn, Mg, Ti, Cr and Be in an Al alloy for casting. CONSTITUTION:A high-strength Al alloy for casting has a chemical composition consisting of 4.50-5.50% Zn, 0.30-0.40% Mn, 2.75-4.00% Mg, 0.15-0.25% Ti, 0.25-0.40% Cr, <=0.01% Be, and the balance Al or consisting of <=0.25% Cu, <=0.9% Fe, <=1% Si, 4.50-5.50% Zn, 0.30-0.40% Mn, 2.75-3.25% Mg, 0.15-0.25% Ti, 0.25-0.40% Cr, <=0.01% Be, and the balance Al. By the presence of Be, hot cracks can be removed or reduced in this Al alloy without deteriorating high tensile strength. Further, even if small amounts of Cu, Fe, Si, etc., are incorporated, the improved characteristic is not deteriorated.

The present invention relates to an aluminum alloy for casting which has a heat cracking resistance of at least 100 m and has improved high-temperature strength and does not cause hot cracking.

In other words, the Al-Zn-Mg alloy has a tensile strength of 40 kg.
/ m*2 or more, and has excellent performance as an aluminum alloy for welded structures, and is often used in Europe and America as heavy structural materials such as cranes, vehicles, tanks, and special bridges. This type of alloy undergoes age hardening not only at high temperatures but also at room temperature after container treatment, and is said to be insensitive to quenching. Therefore, when this material is welded, the parts that have been softened by the welding heat will age harden at room temperature after welding and recover to nearly the strength of the material, resulting in high joint efficiency. However, the above-mentioned high-strength aluminum alloys have problems with corrosion resistance (mainly stress corrosion).
In addition, hot cracking is likely to occur, making it unsuitable as a casting alloy.
