The paper from Materials area made by A. Dulębaand M. Cholewa on “Influence of selected parame-ters of AlSi/CrFeC composite castings manufactur-

ing on the resulted structure” on a page 15 describes the influ-ence: size of reinforcing particles, frequency and the currentintensity on the morphology of reinforcing phase precipitates inAlSi11/CrFe30C8 composites castings produced of rotating elec-tromagnetic field. The results of investigations and their analysisshown, that contribution of these variables parameters essential-ly influence on the morphology of reinforcing phase. On the basisof analysis results determined the most effective technologicalparameters to produced composite casting. In this paper thetechnology of AlSi11/CrxCy composites produced with Cr30Fe8Cex situ particles is described. Technological conception of investi-gations was based on assumption that Cr-Fe matrix of particlesdissolved in Al-Si composite matrix and carbide phases becameactual reinforcement of the composite. Determined possibility tocontrol of volume fraction and distribution of reinforcing phasewith used of the electromagnetic field, it can be used for examplein the control of utility properties wear-resistant materials with ahigh coefficient of friction such as brake discs. The work presentsthe use of the electromagnetic field to shape the structure anddistribution of reinforcing phase in composite matrix. Within therange of this investigation created the new experimental stand forproduction of composites under electromagnetic field.
