Abstract

The article focused on researching the influence of Ti, B, Sr and Na as a modifying treatment elements for Al-Si alloys. The influence of alloying additives such as Cu and Cr was studied. Tensile strength R_m, elongation A₅ and HB hardness was analysed, as well as the influence of the above-mentioned elements on the microstructure and solidification of alloys containing a varied content of Si, within the 7 ÷ 16 % range. The influence of heat treatment on the alloy properties was also researched.
