    Aluminum-silicon phase diagram. Aluminum forms a eutectic with silicon, which is at 577 °C, with a Si content of 12.5% [7] or 12.6%. [8] Up to 1.65% Si can be dissolved in aluminum at this temperature. However, the solubility decreases rapidly with temperature. At 500 °C it is still 0.8% Si, at 400 °C 0.3% Si and at 250 °C only 0.05% Si.
