Method of production of aluminum alloy
A method of production of an aluminum alloy inhibiting oxidation loss of the alloy melt without the use of Be which is liable to affect the human health.When preparing an aluminum alloy melt containing Mg, the method adds to the alloy, Ca, Sr, and/or Ba in a composition ratio within a range enclosed by lines connecting four points illustrated in FIG. 1 of a point A (Ca: 18 at %, Sr: 0 at %, and Ba: 82 at %), point B (Ca: 14 at %, Sr: 34 at %, and Ba: 52 at %), point C (Ca: 33.8 at %, Sr: 66.2 at %, and Ba: 0 at %), point D (Ca: 100 at %, Sr: 0 at %, and Ba: 0 at %) and excluding point D so as to adjust the Ca, Sr, and Ba components in the melt to include Ca: 0.001 to 0.5 mass % and one or both of Sr: 0.01 to 2.8 mass % and Ba: 0.01 to 7.83 mass %.
