A comparative study of the role of solute, potent particles and ultrasonic treatment during solidification of pure Mg, Mg–Zn and Mg–Zr alloys

Ultrasonic treatment (UST) applied during the solidification of pure Mg, eutectic (Mg – Zn) and peritectic (Mg – Zr) alloys was investigated in order to explore the grain refinement mechanisms. Temperature dependent grain refinement is observed in pure Mg where decreasing the superheat temperature (...
