Abstract

In or more aspects of the disclosure, aluminum alloys are presented. In one aspect of the disclosure an aluminum alloy may contain from 5 to 12 wt. % cerium, from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % iron, and a balance aluminum. The aluminum alloy may further contain from 0.01 to 0.1 wt. % titanium. The yield strength of the aluminum alloy at 150° C. may range from 62 to 80 MPa. The elongation of the aluminum alloy at 150° C. may range from 10 to 26%.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An aluminum alloy comprising:
 from 5 to 12 wt. % cerium;   from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % iron; and   a balance aluminum.   
     
     
         2 . The aluminum alloy of  claim 1  further comprising from 0.01 to 0.1 wt. % titanium. 
     
     
         3 . The aluminum alloy of  claim 1 , wherein yield strength at 150° C. ranges from 62 to 80 MPa. 
     
     
         4 . The aluminum alloy of  claim 1 , wherein elongation at 150° C. ranges from 10 to 26%. 
     
     
         5 . The aluminum alloy of  claim 1 , wherein there is 10 wt. % cerium, 0.1 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         6 . The aluminum alloy of  claim 1 , wherein there is 7.5 wt. % cerium, 0.2 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         7 . The aluminum alloy of  claim 1 , wherein there is 4.5 wt. % cerium, 0.5 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         8 . A cast aluminum-based component comprising:
 5 to 12 wt. % cerium, 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % iron, and a balance of aluminum.   
     
     
         9 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8 , wherein there is 10 wt. % cerium, 0.1 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         10 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8 , wherein there is 7.5 wt. % cerium, 0.2 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         11 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8 , wherein there is 4.5 wt. % cerium, 0.5 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         12 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8  further comprising from 0.01 to 0.1 wt. % titanium. 
     
     
         13 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8 , wherein yield strength at 150° C. ranges from 62 to 80 MPa. 
     
     
         14 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8 , wherein elongation at 150° C. ranges from 10 to 26%. 
     
     
         15 . A castable alloy comprising:
 a ternary eutectic mixture of 5 to 12 wt. % cerium, 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % iron, 0.01 to 0.1 wt. % titanium, and a balance of aluminum.   
     
     
         16 . The cast-able alloy of  claim 8 , wherein there is 10 wt. % cerium, 0.1 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         17 . The cast-able alloy of  claim 8 , wherein there is 7.5 wt. % cerium, 0.2 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         18 . The cast-able alloy of  claim 8 , wherein there is 4.5 wt. % cerium, 0.5 wt. % iron, and the balance is aluminum. 
     
     
         19 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8 , wherein yield strength at 150° C. ranges from 62 to 80 MPa. 
     
     
         20 . The cast aluminum-based component of  claim 8 , wherein elongation at 150° C. ranges from 10 to 26%.
