The paper presents results of investigation of crystallization process and microstructure of synthetic hypereutectic alloys: AlSi15 and AlSi19. Casts were made in permanent mold cooled with water mist stream. The study was conducted for unmodified silumins on the research station allowing the cooling of the special permanent probe using a program of computer control. Furthermore the study used a thermal imaging camera to analyze the solidification process of hypereutectic silumins. The study demonstrated that the use of mold cooled with water mist stream allows in wide range the formation of the microstructure of hypereutectic silumins. It leads to higher homogeneity of microstructure and refinement of crystallizing phases and also it increases subsequently the mechanical properties of casting.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Effect of Casting Die Cooling on Solidification Process and Microstructure of Hypereutectic Al-Si Alloy}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/101949/PDF/afe-2016-0105.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2016-0105}, keywords={Innovative foundry technologies and materials, Casting die cooling, Water mist, Hypereutectic silumin}, }
