Marukovich E.I., Stetsenko V.Y. Nanostructural processes of melting and casting of aluminum bronze
It is shown that melting and molding of aluminum bronze are difficult physical and chemical processes. In them the major role is played by the centers of crystallization of dendrites of a a-phase, the a-phase nanocrystals dissolved and the adsorbed oxygen and hydrogen. The role of the modifying crystals of an intermetallid of ZrAl3 is reduced to reduction of concentration of the dissolved oxygen and hydrogen and an intensification of process of coagulation of nanocrystals of a a-phase in the centers of crystallization of dendrites of a a-phase.
Key words: Aluminum bronze, melting, molding, modifying, интерметаллид, nanocrystals, the centers of crystallization, dendrites, the adsorbed oxygen, the adsorbed hydrogen.

Tyutyukov S.A., Andreev A.V., Gavrilyuk A.V., Baykova N.A., Belozertsev M.V. Modernization of the technology in the process of making gravity-die casting from hypoeutectic silumin
The technological aspects for ecologization of the technology in the process of making gravity-die casting from hypoeutectic silumin (hypoeutectic alloy aluminium – silicon (7%) – magnesium (0,3%) and alloy aluminium – silicon (7,5%) – magnesium (0,35%) – titan (0,12%) are discussed in this article. Mechanical properties of alloys from experimental smeltings corresponded to requirements state standart 1583-93. The purpose of the present paper also is to analyse results of the method degazation and modification with using domestic mixture KSK for determination of сasting’s tightness. The tightness was high. The cost of domestic material KSK was in 3 time less, than the cost of import materials «Dеgаzаl Т 200» и «Eutectal Т 201». In addition, the domestic materials does not contain chlorine and others harmful, toxic compounds. Domestic materials can replace imported. The working conditions of foundry workers are improving.
Key words: Silumin, ecologization of the technology (or metallic mold), degazation and modification, tightness, import substitution.

Piirainen V.Y., Kiriyenko I.P., Makhova T.O. The semantics of art casings in arts and crafts, architecture and design
The article presents a concept of comparing the systems of signs of arts and crafts, architecture and design including elements of parts, assemblies or constructions implemented in the art casting technique. Using the laws of composition, the authors are trying to comprehend the artistic language of cast metal. The comparison of homogeneous spatial compositions of metal in arts and crafts, architecture and design confirms the common tectonic origin expressed by the reflection on the mold surface of its constructive basis. Considering the semiotics of art casting in the context of arts and crafts, architecture and design, the authors point out its special role in forming the system of signs of the object as a whole.
Key words: Semiotics, semiotic system, the language of art metal, decorative arts, architecture, design.
