Castings prepared at different casting parameters were subjected to special heat treatment called SST (Silicon Spheroidization Treatment), which were originally used only for the modified silumin alloys to spheroidization of eutectic silicon. Temperature holding time in solution annealing of T6 heat treatment is limited in the SST process to only a few minutes. It was studied the effect of casting parameters and periods of solution annealing on ultimate strength, yield strength, and especially ductility that in the unmodified silumin alloy castings is relatively low.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Utilization of Heat Treatment Aimed to Spheroidization of Eutectic Silicon for Silumin Castings Produced by Squeeze Casting}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/86331/PDF/21_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10266-012-0021-1}, keywords={heat treatment, Silicon spheroidization treatment, Casting with crystallization under pressure (Direct squeeze casting), Hypoeutectic aluminium alloy}, }
