There is claimed a high strength, aluminum alloy composition especially suited for cast vehicular structural components. This chromium- and lithium-free, alloy consists essentially of: about 3-3.6 wt. % zinc, about 1.3-1.6 wt. % magnesium, about 0.2-0.8 wt. % manganese, about 0.08-0.16 wt. % zirconium, up to about 0.3 wt. % copper, up to about 0.15 wt. % silicon, and up to about 0.25 wt. % iron, the balance aluminum, incidental elements and impurities. It exhibit a typical tensile yield strength greater than about 29 ksi without having to undergo T6-type thermal processing.

There is claimed an alloy composition for castings, especially vehicle wheels. This cast composition is chromium-free, zirconium-free and consists essentially of: about 4-7 wt. % zinc, more preferably, about 4-5 wt. % zinc; about 1.2-1.8 wt. % magnesium; at least one of about 0.3-0.6 wt. % manganese and 0.1-0.25 wt. % copper; up to about 0.25 wt. % iron; and up to about 0.25 wt. % silicon, the balance aluminum and incidental impurities. Products made from this alloy exhibit fatigue properties equal to or greater than those for a 6061-T6 forging, typically about 850,000 cycles at about 12.5 ksi; and about 330,000 cycles at about 20 ksi. They also exhibit a typical T6 tensile yield strength of about 50 ksi or higher.

Means and method for making rapid determinations of the strength of metal materials from hardness evaluations of the materials. The means comprises at least two indentors for making impressions in a metal material, the indentors having predetermined dimensions. Apparatus for mechanically directing the indentors against the material are provided and mechanically connected to the indentors. The driving apparatus translates the indentors against the material under predetermined loads and in a manner that makes impressions in the material, the geometric configurations of which correspond to the configurations of the indentors. Means are provided for characterizing the respective geometries of the impressions, and means are provided for utilizing the dimensions of the indentors, the values of the applied loads, and the respective geometries, for calculating the yield and/or tensile strength of the material therefrom.

Aluminum alloy products particularly for use in automotive applications may be advantageously produced from a body of aluminum base alloy consisting essentially of, by weight, 0. 4 to 1. 2% Si, 0. 4 to 1. 1% Mg, 0. 2 to 0. 8% Mn, 0. 05 to 0. 35% Fe, 0. 1 to 0. 6% Cu, the balance essentially aluminum and incidental elements and impurities. The alloy body may be homogenized at a temperature in the range of 900. degree. to 1100. degree. F and thereafter worked into wrought products such as sheet or extrusions which are solution heat treated and quenched and aged to a T4 condition prior to forming into automotive body panels, bumpers or the like, which may then be strengthened by heating or aging to the T6 condition.

Means and method for making rapid determinations of the strength of metal materials from hardness evaluations of the materials. The means comprises an indentor for making impressions in a metal material, the indentor having a known predetermined dimension. Apparatus for mechanically directing the indentor against the material is provided and mechanically connected to the indentor. The driving apparatus moves the indentor against the material under successive predetermined loads or forces and in a manner that makes a series of impressions in the material. Means are provided for characterizing the respective geometries of the impressions, and means are provided for utilizing the dimension of the indentor, the values of the applied loads, and the respective geometries, to calculate the yield and/or tensile strength of the material therefrom.
