The trend of the automotive industry goes toward the construction of high-powered, comfortable, economical, ecological and safe vehicles. A few Al alloys containing Cu and a few containing Mg and Si are heat treatable in the cast condition due to the precipitation strengthening mechanisms. Two of the major families of heat treatable aluminum alloys containing magnesium and silicon are the 6xxx series in wrought aluminum alloys, and 3xx series in casting aluminum alloys. Al-Si-Cu/Mg alloys are well studied and there exists a lot of publication about the effect of alloying elements and solidification rate on the microstructure formation [1-3]. The influence of heat treatment on the mechanical properties including hardness and tensile strengths is also well studied, while the influence on plastic deformation behavior and elongation to fracture is less studied.
