    Vplyv Sr, Zr a Mo na vybrané vlastnosti AlSi5Cu2Mg zliatiny
    (Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2023) Sýkorová, Martina; Bolibruchová, Dana; Širanec, Lukáš
    Hypoeutectic AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy is a relatively new alloy that finds application in the production of high stress cylinder head castings. This work focuses on the investigation of the solubility of the additive elements Sr, Zr, and Mo in AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy. The main objective of the work was to characterize the influence of the additive elements on selected properties of the experimental alloy AlSi5Cu2Mg with respect to the melting method of the additive elements. The additive elements Sr, Zr, and Mo were introduced into the melt in the form of AlSr10, AlZr20, and AlMo10 master alloys were melted in 2 ways in an electric resistance furnace and an electric induction furnace. Depending on the melting method, the experimental alloys were designated Sr-Z, Zr-Z, Mo-Z (electric resistance furnace), and Sr-I, Zr-I, and Mo-I (electric induction furnace). The results showed that the presence of Sr, Zr, and Mo in the AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy led to a negative increase in the area fraction of porosity and a decrease in the physical properties, regardless of the melting method of the master alloys. Based on the summarized results, it was shown that the experimental alloys Sr-I, and Sr-Z did not show a significant increase in mechanical properties. A negative effect on the selected mechanical properties was noted by the experimental alloy Zr-Z. The most favourable combination of mechanical properties was obtained by the experimental alloys Mo-I and Zr-I.

    Corrosion behavior of the AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy with varying Zr addition
    (University of Žilina, 2023) Širanec, Lukáš
    The aim of this paper was to analyze the impact of varying zirconium additions (0.05; 0.10; 0.15 and 0.20 wt. % Zr) on corrosion behavior of the AlSi5Cu2Mg aluminum alloy. Potentiodynamic polarization corrosion tests in 3.5 % NaCl solution demonstrated that the addition of Zr improved the thermodynamic corrosion stability of the AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy by shifting the corrosion potential to more positive values for all as-cast samples. The addition of Zr to the as-cast alloys also improved corrosion kinetics by lowering the corrosion current density.
