Abstract
The influence of complex MHD and thermal-forced processing of hypo- and hypereutectic silumins on their structure and properties is considered. In liquid state, the processing involves holding and electromagnetic pouring of alloys into the magnetodynamic installation (MDI). In solid state, alloys experience thermo-mechanical action.
