Effect of heat treatment on the structure and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys modified with shungite
Application of piston group castings from hypereutectic silumins is limited by inequality of the resulting structure, and consequently, the mechanical properties in the casting cross-section. At the same time, the problem is not solved by using conventional modifying agents for this group of alloys. One of the significant technological operations is heat treatment of alloys. The paper highlights the results of the study of effect of heat treatment on the structure and mechanical characteristics of the hypereutectic silumin modified by natural bucky balls in shungite rock.
