ALUMINUM-BASED ALLOY COMPOSITION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alloy composition which has improved corrosion resistance and reduces the abrasion of a die during the use of the die. SOLUTION: The composition involves an aluminum-based alloy composition for vehicle components, and comprises essentially between about 0.15 to 0.6% weight silicon to provide recrystallization, between about 0.2 to 0.7% weight iron, between about 0.4 to 0.6% weight copper, between about 1.1 to 1.4% weight manganese, between about 0.15 to 0.3% weight magnesium, between about 0.15 to 0.4% weight zinc, between about 0.1 to 0.15% weight zirconium, and the balance aluminum.
