Abstract

A methodology was developed for the casting of samples of AlSi7Mg alloy modified with nanocomposites (NCs). The following NCs were used: SiC + Cu, AlN + Cu + Al, TiN + Cu, SiC + Al, SiC + Ag Cu, where Ag and Al are cladding metals. The introduction of the nanocompositions takes place in the crucible of a furnace. A thin-walled cylindrical casting mould is used on whose axis is installed a protected thermocouple to measure temperature variation as a function of time. The effect of NCs on overcooling and on sample structure is established.
