The article discusses the most important changes in the construction of permanent mould casting machines, as well as the method of casting engine pistons and their construction on the example of Federal-Mogul (FM) Gorzyce. The system of automatic cooling of the presently used permanent mould casting machines coupled with robots which pour the liquid alloy ensures uniform crystallization of the pistons and optimal efficiency of the casting process. As a result of the necessity to improve the engine efficiency and thus reduce the fuel consumption and harmful substance emission, the construction of the pistons has changed as well. The piston castings, which are produced by gravity casting for metal moulds, have undergone a diametric transformation. Typical piston designs for gasoline and Diesel engines are shown together with the most important parts of the piston, the crown (combustion chamber) and the guide part (skirt). Depending on the type of engine, the present pistons characterize in differently shaped crown, a slimmed internal construction as well as component participation (cooling channels and ring inserts), and the piston skirts undergo surface treatment procedures.
W pracy przedstawiono badania wpływu dodatku manganu (0,6 i 1,2%mas.) na przebieg procesu krystalizacji i kształtowanie struktury okołoeutektycznego siluminu EN AC-43000. Stwierdzono, iż dodatek Mn powoduje zanik niekorzystnej kruchej fazy β-Al5FeSi na korzyść fazy α-Al15(FeMn)3Si2, która krystalizuje w postaci zwartych, równomiernie rozłożonych w osnowie roztworu stałego a(Al) wielościennych wydzieleń o wymiarach ok. 7–8 mm. Zmiana niekorzystnej morfologii kruchych eutektyk zawierających żelazo przekłada się na niewielki wzrost właściwości mechanicznych, bez pogorszenia plastyczności stopów Al-Si-Mg-Mn.

The paper presents studies on the effect of manganese addition (0.6 and 1.2% by mass) on the course of the crystallization process and shaping the approximate structure of the silicone EN AC-43000. It was found that the addition of Mn causes the disappearance of the disadvantageous fragile β-Al5FeSi phase in favor of the α-Al15(FeMn)3Si2phase, which crystallizes in the form of compact, uniformly distributed solid matrix a(Al) polyhedral particles with dimensions of approx. 7–8 mm. A change in the unfavorable morphology of brittle iron-containing eutectics translates into a small increase in mechanical properties without deterioration of the Al-Si-Mg-Mn alloys.
