Aluminum silicon alloy is an alloy mainly composed of aluminum and silicon. Generally, the silicon content is 11%, and a small amount of copper, iron and nickel are added to improve the strength. Because of its light weight, good thermal conductivity, and certain strength, hardness and corrosion resistance, aluminum silicon alloys are widely used in the automotive industry and machine manufacturing to make some parts used under sliding friction conditions. |

Aluminum silicon alloy properties and uses: When the silicon content is low (such as 0.7), the ductility of the aluminum silicon alloy is better, and it is often used as a deformed alloy; when the silicon content is high (such as 7%), the filling of the aluminum silicon alloy melt is better, and it is often used to make Cast alloy. In the aluminum silicon alloy whose silicon content exceeds the Al-Si eutectic point (silicon content is 12.6%), when the silicon particle content is as high as 14.5% to 25%, adding a certain amount of Ni, CU, Mg and other elements can improve the its comprehensive mechanical properties. They can be used in automotive engines to replace cast iron cylinders with significant weight savings. The aluminum silicon alloy used for the cylinder can be electrochemically treated to etch the surface aluminum and retain the primary silicon particles embedded in the matrix on the inner wall of the cylinder, and its scratch resistance and wear resistance are significantly improved. Among them, alloys with silicon content of 11% to 13% have become one of the best piston materials due to their light weight, low expansion coefficient and high corrosion resistance. |
