Abstract
The study covers the impact of thermo-time processing and cooling rate of molten metal on the crystallization regularities, structure, properties and modifying ability of Al–Sc alloys. The Al–Sc alloys obtained by electrolysis in the KF–NaF–AlF 3 –Sc 2 O 3 melts at 820–850 °C were used as an initial charge for casting. It was found that changes in overheat values and casting temperatures make it possible to vary the shape, number and size of crystals in a wide range. The modifying effect of the cast and fast-quenched master alloys and alloy produced by electrolysis was tested on Al–4,5%Cu alloys. The greatest refinement of the Al–4,5%Cu–0,4%Sc alloy structure was obtained with the fast-quenched master alloy.
