The specimens prepared by casting with pressure crystallization of standard Al alloy (%: 11.8Si, 2Cu, 1.2Mg, 0.8Ni, 0.4Mn, 0.7Fe, 0.1Ti) and elaborated Al alloy, containing 11-13 or 17-19%Si, up to 1%Fe and 0.3%Zn as well as Cu, Mg, Ni, Mn, Ti, are used in hardness determination after heat treatment (quenching, cold water cooling, aging). The results show that the elaborated alloy possesses high
... [Show full abstract] hardness at 200-350°C. This alloy can be used in manufacturing the pistons and parts undergone to affecting high temperatures and stresses.
