Abstract

In this paper, the improvement of casting properties of the high-strength AlZnMgCu alloys is described. This improvement was achieved by additions of Ni, Mg, and Si, which formed eutectic phases, thus reducing the crystallization interval of the alloy. The comparison of the castability and hot-tearing tendency was made for three alloys: nearly single-phase AlZn6Mg2 alloy, quasi-ternary eutectic AlZn7Mg7Cu1Ni3Si3 alloy, and common casting AlSi10 alloy. It was shown that the castability and hot-tearing tendency of the quasi-ternary eutectic alloy are similar to those of the AlSi alloy.
