Abstract Aluminum casting alloy compositions parallel those of wrought alloys in many respects. However, because work hardening plays no significant role in the development of casting properties, the use and purposes of some alloying elements differ in casting alloys versus wrought alloys. This chapter provides information on specifications and widely used designation systems and alloy nomenclature for aluminum casting alloys. It describes the composition of seven basic families of aluminum casting alloys: aluminum-copper, aluminum-silicon-copper, aluminum-silicon, aluminum-silicon-magnesium, aluminum-magnesium, aluminum-zinc-magnesium, and aluminum-tin. The chapter discusses the effects of alloying elements on the properties of cast aluminum. It provides information on various alloys that are grouped with respect to their applications or major performance characteristics.

Aluminum-Silicon (Al-Si) alloys are one of the most widely used aluminum alloys. But iron can severely deteriorate the mechanical property of Al-Si diecasting alloy because its presence leads to the precipitation of different AlFeSi intermetallic phases which damage the ductility of alloys. Thus controlling the fraction and morphology of AlFeSi phase, especially the β-AlFeSi phase is important way to refine the ductility of Al-Si die casting alloys. In this article, K element was added into A380 alloys to study the effect of K on the morphology change of AlFeSi phase. The results show that a certain level of K addition 0.05-0.1 wt% will refine β-AlFeSi and transform β-AlFeSi phase to α-AlFeSi. In addition, K addition can better refine AlFeSi at high ccoling rates. The mechanism of refinement of K on AlFeSi phase is analyzed.
