Abstract
Significance of alloy modification in course of casting process is the most explicitly visible on example of Al-Si alloys. Broad application of these alloys in foundry industry has become possible after invention of a method which changes solidification form of Al-Si eutectic mixture. Such primarily thick, acicular shape of silicon crystals becomes changed into fine and compact structure due to introduction of a small quantity of modifier to liquid alloy. The paper presents an attempt of assessment of melting and modification with strontium effects on mechanical properties of EN AC-43300 alloy cast into sand moulds. Obtained results concern selection of optimal quantity of strontium additive in aspect of obtained mechanical properties (Rm, A5, KCV, HB). Effect of strontium additive on change of mechanical properties of the investigated alloy was presented in graphical form. Further investigations shall be connected with determination of an effect of strontium additive on mechanical properties of the alloy after solution heat treatment and ageing treatment.
