.... Table 1 lists the freezing range of a number of important alloys. Most aluminum casting alloys contain silicon as the major alloying element, because silicon forms a eutectic with aluminum at 11.7% Si. Typical silicon levels and freezing ranges of popular casting alloys are: In long-freezing-range...
