AB  - The paper deals with the solubility and influence of the melting method of alloying elements (Zr, Mo and Sr) on selected properties and structure of the hypoeutectic aluminum alloy AlSi5Cu2Mg. Alloy-ing elements in the form of master alloys (AlZr20, AlMo10, and AlSr10) were melted in two different methods. The first method consisted in melting the master alloy together with the batch material in an electric resistance furnace, the second method consisted in separately melting the master alloy in an induction electric furnace and then introducing the master alloy into the molten batch. The presence of alloying elements led to an increase in the porosity in all experimental alloys, which negatively affected the resulting physical and mechanical properties.
