Objective
Nineteen different aluminium alloys have been developed and investigated. These alloys have been cast with two investment casting processes, the standard process and a proprietary technique (SOPHIA process) allowing higher cooling rates and controlled solidication. To achieve optimum properties and short processing times, optimized heat treatments were developed for the alloys under investigation.
A modification of the commercial alloy AlSi7Mg could be developed with very balanced properties showing a small improvement in room temperature tensile properties. However this alloys has much improved tensile and creep properties at elevated temperatures up to 200 C. This alloy has a high potential for commercial introduction.
Attempts to cast modified alloys on the base of Al-Zn, A201 and A224 have finally not been successful. Some progress was made, but the inherent problems of segregation and hot tearing could not be solved sufficiently, so that a broader technical application is presently not visible.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
