The project is focused on research and development of unconventional methods of controlled cooling of high-quality, light and tough casting of aluminum alloys produced by precision casting, with solidification via immersing the mould with the melt into the cooling mediums.

The results will be continuously applied in the modification of the production technology and in the high-strength aluminum castings production.

Furthermore, new magnesium alloy will be developed with better mechanical properties comparing to AZ91 magnesium alloy. Structure, physical and mechanical properties will be studied and further will be verified the possibility of using this alloy for some current products from the range of Alucast company.

Suitable heat and thermomechanical treatment will be found that will further improve the properties of light-alloy castings. The structural,

mechanical and physical characteristics of thus treated alloys will be investigated.
