After previous experiments, which showed inclusions in the primary phase α(Al) when observing structures, hypothesis of external nuclei was taken. The main goal of the work was to determine the influence of inoculation by various additions of titanium/boron based inoculant on the structure and properties of AlSi7Mg0,3 alloy. The master alloy AlTi5B1 was added in amounts of 0,05, 0,1, 0,15, 0,2 wt %. Metallographic observation by light and SEM microscopy was used for analysing the structures. Measurements of grain size were realised and evaluated. Brinell hardness measurements were performed. Chemical composition was measured by GDS analysis. Undertaken experiments did not prove the effect of inoculation of combined AlTi5B1 master alloy on castings made of AlSi7Mg0,3 alloy made by rheocasting SEED at given amounts and conditions.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Grain Refinement of AlSi7Mg0,3 Alloy Cast by Rheocasting SEED}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/107832/PDF/AFE%203_2018_27.pdf}, keywords={Theory of crystallization, Innovative foundry technologies and materials, solidification process, metallography, Rheocasting}, }
