A cast article from an aluminum alloy has improved mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The cast article has the following composition in weight percent: Silicon 6.0 - 25.0, Copper 5.0 - 8.0, Iron 0.05 - 1.2, Magnesium 0.5 - 1.5, Nickel 0.05 - 0.9, Manganese 0.05 -1.2, Titanium 0.05 - 1.2, Zirconium 0.05- 1.2, Vanadium 0.05 - 1.2, Zinc 0.05 - 0.9, Strontium 0.001 - 0.1, Phosphorus 0.001 - 0.1, and the balance is Aluminum, wherein th e silicon-to-magnesium ratio is 10 - 25, and the copper-to-magnesium ratio is 4 - 15. The aluminum alloy contains a simultaneous dispersion of three types of A13X compound particles (X= Ti, V, Zr) having a L12 crystal structure, and their lattice parameters are coherent to the aluminum matrix lattice. A process for producing this cast article is also disclosed, as well as a meta l matrix composite, which includes the aluminum alloy serving as a matrix containing up to about 60% by volume of a secondary filler material.
