Although the use of secondary alloys is relatively widespread today, they are mostly used for the production of lower or medium quality castings, respectively with a low ratio of primary and secondary alloys. Experimental works was aimed at the additional processing of the secondary alloys by suitable methods or their combination, to achieve a secondary alloy with mechanical properties similar to the primary one, thus enabling the use of such an alloy to produce high-quality castings. Correctors used during experimental works are Cr, Ni, V and their combination applied to various aluminium alloys with different chemical composition.
