Due to the low specific weight, high corrosion resistance and outstanding technological properties, the aluminum-silicon alloys are widely used in automotive,motorcycles and military industry, for example,aluminum engine rotors, vanes, engine pistons, cylinder liners, connecting rods, intake valves, valve retainers, valve seats, bearing brackets etc.
Advantages
- High strength;
- Wear-resistance;
- Good formability;
- Low density
