Rusal announced the development of a new aluminum-zinc alloy for the automotive industry, based on the aluminum-zinc-magnesium system and adding iron-nickel alloy to improve manufacturability during the casting process. This alloy has higher strength characteristics compared to the series alloys widely used in the automotive industry, and can be used for lightweight design of high-load automotive components such as wheels and suspension parts. The casting process includes low pressure casting and gravity casting, and does not require expensive alloy elements, allowing the use of scrap materials. Depending on specific applications and requirements, the alloy can be processed at two different temperatures, F and T6, to increase strength, reduce weight, save costs, and provide flexibility for casting products. The use of the new aluminum-zinc alloy can reduce the weight of wheels and automotive suspension parts by up to 15%.
