The maximum degree of undercooling ΔT was determined based on the cooling curves. The surface density of the grains (NA) was determined and associated with the inverse of solidification interval 1/ΔTk. Titanium (contained in the charge materials as well as the modifier) has a significant effect on the grinding of the primary grains in the tested alloys. A DSC thermal analysis allowed for the determination of phase transition temperatures under conditions close to equilibrium. For series II and III, the number of grains decreases above 0.2 wt.% Mn with a simultaneous increase in solidification interval 1/ΔTk. The presence of Al2Cu eutectics as well as the Cu-, Fe-, and Mn-containing phases in the examined samples was demonstrated using scanning electron microscopy.}, type={Article}, title={Effect of Variable Manganese Content on Microstructure of Al-Cu Alloys}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116828/PDF/AMM-2020-4-27-Stapor.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.133703}, keywords={Al-Cu-Mn alloys, Microstructure, Macrostructure, DSC}, }
