Abstract: A component or semi-finished piece is made from a hot-form aluminium alloy of the following composition in wt. %: silicon 0.9-1.3, magnesium 0.7-1.2, manganese 0.5-1.0, copper less than 0.1, iron less than 0.5, chromium less than 0.25, titanium less than 0.1, zinc less than 0.2, zirconium and/or hafnium 0.05-0.2 and further unavoidable impurities, whereby the total amount of chromium and manganese and zirconium and/or hafnium is at least 0.4 by weight. The aluminium/silicon mixed crystals are present in addition to magnesium silicide precipitates.
