The article presents the results of research concerning to AlCu4MgSi alloy ingots produced using horizontal continuous casting process. The presented research was focused on the precise determination of phase composition of the precipitates formed during the solidification of ingots and the analysis of their thermal stability. In order to assess the morphology of precipitates in the AlCu4MgSi alloy, data obtained by using a computer simulation of thermodynamic phenomena were compiled with results obtained using advanced research techniques, i.e. High-temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD), SEM-EDS, Thermal and derivative analysis (TDA) and Glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GD OES). SEM observations and analysis of chemical composition in micro-areas showed that the precipitates are mainly intermetallic θ-Al2Cu and β-Mg2Si phases, and also presence of Al19Fe4MnSi2 intermetallic phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. Based on the prepared Thermo-Calc simulation data, high-temperature X-ray diffraction measurements were conducted.

Microstructure change of the metals and alloys as a result of variable crystallisation conditions also by mind of cooling rate change influence the mechanical properties. In this work there are presented the interdependences between the cooling rate, chemical composition and microstructure of the cast aluminium alloy Al–Si–Cu as a result of the thermo-derivative analysis, using the UMSA (Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer) device. An important tool for the microstructure evaluation of the Al type AC-AlSi7Cu3Mg alloy was the light and electron scanning microscopy technique.

Purpose: The application of the UMSA device (Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer) has allow to determine the liquidus/solidus thermal points of solidified alloy, as well the thermal points, where phase- or eutectic crystallisation occurs. Design/methodology/approach: Investigations were performed using cast aluminium-silicon alloys, known as EN AC-4XXXX according to the PN-EN 1706:2001 standard. The solidification process was investigated using the metallurgical UMSA simulator connected to recording devices equipped with simulating cooling system. For the alloy microstructure investigation the optical microscope and transmission and scanning electron microscope with EDS equipment were used for evaluation of the chemical composition of the phases occurred in the investigated alloy. Findings: Investigation of the interdependences occurred between phase morphology and cooling rate using thermo-analysis has given the main results. Practical implications: In the metal casting industry the improvement of the quality of components depends mainly on proper control over the production parameters. Originality/value: The performed investigations allow to determine the microstructure changes as well the derivative curves in comparison to the cooling rate applied for the alloy.
