This study deals with the blistering problem in die casting Al alloys when they are subjected to T6 heat treatment. In order to realize the onset temperature and time conditions for the blistering problem to occur, the common die casting alloys, namely ADC3 (Al-9.2 Si-0.4 Mg-0.3 Fe and with additions of 2% and 4% Cu), were used and subjected to a series of solid solutioning tests. Once the blistering onset conditions were identified, proper T6 heat treatment can be applied to the alloys without the occurrence of blistering. Through a careful selection of heat treatment conditions (not to exceed the blistering onset conditions) and proper adjustments of alloy compositions (to lower the required solid solution temperature) die casting alloys can be strengthened by the blistering-free T6 heat treatment.
