    摘要: An aluminum alloy for casting shaped aluminum alloy parts may comprise alloying elements of silicon and chromium and may be formulated to develop a dispersion strengthened and precipitation strengthened microstructure via heat treatment. The aluminum alloy may be formulated to develop a microstructure including an aluminum matrix phase and a fine-grained AlCrSi dispersoid phase when subjected to a solution heat treatment. The aluminum alloy also may be formulated to develop a microstructure including one or more Cu-containing precipitate phases when subjected to an aging heat treatment.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a pin (46) for a o mold (28) includes forming the pin (46) to include a substantially uniform initial hardness throughout the entire structure of the formed pin (46). The formed pin (46) is then processed with a hardening process, such that the processed pin(46) exhibits a hardness defining a hardness gradient that gradually increases from the initial hardness at a central interior region (56) of the pin (46) to an increased surface hardness at an exterior surface (60) of the pin (46). After processing the pin (46) with the hardening process, a coating (64) maybe deposited onto the exterior surface (60) of the pin (46) with a physical vapor deposition process. The coating (64) exhibits a hardness that is greater than the hardness of the increased surface hardness of the exterior surface (60) of the pin (46). The pin (46) may include, for example, a core pin, a squeeze pin, or an ejector pin.
