The measurements concerning the temperature field of the composite suspension with AlMg10 alloy matrix reinforced with graphite particles during its flow in a runner-like mould cavity have been performed for the purpose of investigating the influence of the graphite particles on the solidification kinetics. Applying the derivative differential thermal analysis method, the kinetics of solidification heat release has been calculated for examined composites. The time-dependent quantity of solid phase crystallized over the period of flow has been determined on this basis. The dependence of the solid phase quantity upon the momentary length of the experimental casting has apportioned the length of the solidification zone in the casting and the critical fraction of solid phase at which the flow stops. The solidification zone is longer and the critical fraction of solid phase at the stream front is lower for composite containing 10% of graphite particles than for the one with 20% of graphite. The composite reinforced with 20% of graphite particles flows at a significantly lower rate and exhibits reduced castability as compared with the composite with 10% of graphite. It is caused by the higher solidification rate in the initial stage of the process. The obtained results allow for supposing that graphite particles intensify composite solidification by changing the kinetics of the process.
