Theoretical and Practical Considerations of Grain Refinement of Mg-Al Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The fundamentals of grain refinement are reviewed with particular focus on magnesium alloys. This is followed by considerations of the theoretical and practical aspects of grain refinement of Mg-Al alloys by carbon-based grain refiners. Finally, experimental results using Al4C3 as a potential grain refiner are presented and discussed.
