METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ENGINE COMPONENT AND ENGINE COMPONENT

摘要

The present application relates to a method for producing an engine component, more particularly a piston for an internal combustion engine, wherein an aluminium alloy is cast in the pressure die casting method. In this method, the aluminium alloy comprises the following alloy elements: silicon: 11% by weight to 14.5% by weight, nickel: 3.6% by weight to 5% by weight, copper: 3.7% by weight to 5.2% by weight, magnesium: 0.5% by weight to 1.5% by weight, iron: 0.6% by weight to 1.5% by weight, manganese: 0.2% by weight to 0.4% by weight, zirconium: 0.04% by weight to 0.1% by weight, vanadium: 0.04% by weight to 0.1% by weight, wherein the aluminium alloy also comprises aluminium and unavoidable impurities.
