Grain refinement of Mg-Al alloys inoculated by MgAl2O4 powder

As a potent nucleating substrate for α-Mg grain, MgAl2O4 powder was used to inoculate the Mg-Al melt in this study. The effects of MgAl2O4 amount, holding time and Al content on the grain size and grain refining ratio of the inoculated Mg-Al alloys are systematically investigated. The results show t...
