Investigations of the crystallization process of the silumins by the TDA method were conducted. Also, a microscopic analysis of their microstructure was performed and their basic mechanical properties were determined. Microstructure tests were made on casts produced in an TDA sampler as well as by the pressure method. The investigations exhibited a change in the course of crystallization of the silumin containing 0.3 and 0.4% W and Mo with respect to silumin 226 and the silumin with the addition of 0.1 and 0.2%. The presence of additional phases which did not occur in the case of lower addition contents was established in the silumin containing 0.3-0.4% W and Mo, regardless of the applied casting technology. The tests showed the possibility of increasing the tensile strength Rm, the proof stress Rp0,2 and the unit elongation A of the silumin as a result of a simultaneous introduction of the W and Mo addition. The highest values of Rm, Rp0,2 and A were obtained in the silumins with the additions of these elements within the range of 0.1-0.2% each.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Effect of Tungsten and Molybdenum on the Crystallization, Microstructure and Properties of Silumin 226}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/88704/PDF/13_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2015-0061}, keywords={Theoretical basis of casting processes, pressure casting, multi-component silumins, TDA method}, }
