METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ENGINE COMPONENT, AND ENGINE COMPONENT

摘要

The present application relates to a method for the production of an engine component, in particular a piston for an internal combustion engine, in which an aluminum alloy is cast in a diecasting process. The aluminum alloy comprises the following alloy elements: silicon: 11 to 14.5 % by weight, nickel: 1.7 to 3.5 % by weight, copper: 3.7 to 5.2 % by weight, magnesium: 1.6 to 3.5 % by weight, iron: 0.6 to 1.5 % by weight, manganese: 0.2 to 0.4 % by weight, zirconium: 0.04 to 0.1 % by weight, vanadium: 0.04 to 0.1 % by weight, the aluminum alloy otherwise comprising aluminum and unavoidable contaminants.
