Aluminium–silicon alloys

Aluminium–silicon alloys, also called silumins, are a family of alloys made mostly of the metal aluminium and the metalloid silicon. These alloys are used for casting, but the binary AlSi alloy cannot be heat treated. Elements such as copper and magnesium can be added to allow heat treating and other types of strengthening.
