AB One of the problems in machining Al alloys represents machinability of these materials. Machinability is a characterised by several characteristics. One of these characteristics is a cutting temperature. This paper is focused on the effect of selected modifiers in AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy on this temperature. Several variants of this material modified by strontium, calcium and antimony are used. All these materials are compared with non-modified alloy. Moulded castings of non-modified alloy and for each modified variant were made. Gravity-die castings into a metal mould with a thermal insulation were used.
