Aluminium–magnesium–silicon alloys are aluminium alloys—alloys that are mainly made of aluminium—that contain both magnesium and silicon as the most important alloying elements in terms of quantity. B
Aluminium–silicon alloys
…the commonly used alloys AlSiCu (with copper) and AlSiMg (with magnesium) can be hardened. The hardening mechanism corresponds to that of AlCu and AlMgSi. AlSi alloys are by far the most important of all aluminum cast materials. They are suitable for all casting processes and have excellent casting…
