  • Publication number: 20160243612
    Abstract: A method for producing a thin-walled rotationally symmetric component from aluminium or an aluminium alloy in a die-casting process. The die-casting process operates with a double casting cavity, in which the shell of the component is produced without recesses, and the recesses are made in the shell by cutting.

  • Patent number: 8978733
    Abstract: A process for producing a rotationally symmetrical cast aluminum component by die casting, which is reworked partially on its inner and/or outer lateral surfaces. At least a part of the lateral surfaces is not treated and is used as a non-positively locking bearing surface for installation in an assembly and also for bracing the component.

  • Publication number: 20090314392
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a cast component made of an aluminium diecasting alloy, in which the cast component is subjected to a heat treatment process after casting, wherein an aluminium diecasting alloy is used, by means of which the cast component has an elongation at break A5 of ?10% and a yield point Rp0.2 of <120 MPa, and wherein a single-step annealing process for stability is carried out at a temperature of 120-260° C., after which the heat-treated cast component has a break at elongation A5 of ?7% and a yield point Rp0.2 of ?110 MPa. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cast component which is produced in accordance with a method of this type.

  • Publication number: 20090297393
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aluminum alloy, in particular a pressure casting alloy, preferably for a cast component of a motor vehicle, with the following alloy elements: 6.5 to <9.5% by weight of silicon, 0.3 to 0.6% by weight of manganese, 0.15 to 0.35% by weight of iron, 0.02 to 0.6% by weight of magnesium, a maximum of 0.1% by weight of titanium, 90 to 180 ppm strontium and aluminum as the remainder, with a maximum of 0.05% by weight, and a total maximum of 0.2% by weight of production-related contaminants. The alloy is particularly suitable for the pressure casting of the cast components of a motor vehicle such as oil pans, for example.
