Abstract: Aluminium base alloys exhibiting superplastic deformation characteristics at elevated temperatures, having fully modified eutectic microstructures characterized by the absence of any primary phase and by the presence of at least one finely dispersed eutectic second phase.
Abstract: Aluminum silicon alloys exhibiting microstructures characterized by the absence of any primary aluminum or primary silicon phase and a high volume fraction of finely dispersed eutectic silicon suitable for use as wear-resistant surfaces.
Abstract: Aluminum base alloys, having improved properties as regards mechanical working treatments, according to the invention are characterized by a content of 0.5 - 10.0 wt. % iron, without or with a very small content (up to 0.1 wt. %) of Li or Na or Sr or Ba. The alloy has a microstructure comprising a substantial portion of refined Al.sub.3 Fe and/or very fine Al.sub.6 Fe.
