Abstract
Processes of melting the samples of industrial AK6 aluminum alloy in cast and homogenized states are studied using thermal analysis with the subsequent numerical differentiation with respect to time of heating curves in a temperature range from 300 to 670°C. The temperatures of nonequilibrium solidus, equilibrium solidus, and liquidus are evaluated. The microstructure of cast and homogenized alloy samples is studied and the local chemical composition of the aluminum host and phases is determined.
