Multiple remelting may in various ways influence mechanical, foundry properties, gas saturation, shrinkage cavity, fluidity etc. of alloy. Higher presence of iron in Al-Si cast alloys is common problem mainly in secondary (recycled) aluminium alloys. In Al-Si alloy the iron is the most common impurity and with presence of other elements in alloy creates the intermetallic compounds, which decreases mechanical properties. Iron in the used alloy was increased to about 1.4 wt. %, so that the influence of increased iron content can be investigated. In the paper, the effect of multiple remelting is evaluated with respect to the resulting mechanical properties in cast state, after the heat treatment (T5) and after natural aging. From the obtained results it can be concluded that the multiple remelting leads to change of chemical composition and affect the mechanical properties.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Influence of Remelting AlSi9Cu3 Alloy with Higher Iron Content on Mechanical Properties}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/107809/PDF/AFE%203_2018_04.pdf}, keywords={Al-Si-Cu, Remelting, mechanical properties, heat treatment}, }
