The Influencing Factor of MgAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> on Heterogeneous Nucleation and Grain Refinement in Al Alloy Melts

Grain refinement using oxide additions is commercially feasible and ecofriendly. MgAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> has a lattice structure similar to Al and small lattice misfits with Al, and it can be an effective nucleation core when it meets certain conditions. In this paper,...
