MODIFICATION OF EUTECTIC AND PRIMARY PARTICLES OF SILICON IN SILUMINS. DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Abstract

The principal approaches to modification of silumins have been analyzed. Results of the effect of various complex modifying agents on the structure and properties of aluminum-silicon alloys have been presented. Prospects of production of silumins that are different not only in strength properties but also in plastic properties have been analyzed.
