Abstract

The phase composition of the Al-Ni-Mn-Fe-Si-Zr system was analyzed with respect to new-generation heat resistant casting aluminum alloys based on a Ni-containing eutectic. The presence of iron and silicon significantly complicates the phase composition as compared with quaternary (Al-Ni-Mn-Zr) alloys. The admissible concentration of iron, at which no primary aluminides form and a high dispersivity of the eutectic is provided for, went up (to approximately 0.5–0.7%) as the concentration of nickel was decreased from 4 to 2%. Herewith, the solidification range did not exceed 10°C, which enabled higher casting properties. Silicon strongly expands the solidification range (being ~60°C already at 0.1%), which increases the aptitude of the alloy to form hot cracks in castings.
