Abstract

The aim of the work was to analyse the solidification of the Al matrix composite reinforced with graphite particles and to determine the influence of these particles on the solidification kinetics of metal composites. The AlMg10 alloy was used as the matrix of the tested composites. The tests covered composites containing 10 %, 20 %, 30 % graphite particles, produced in a two-stage process with the method of mechanical mixing. Solidification tests were performed by the thermal derivative analysis method (ATD). The introduction of ceramic particles into the matrix changed the solidification kinetics of the alloy.
