The results indicate that the AI 5C master alloy consists of a（Al） and A14C3 phases, and the size distribution of Al4C3 particles is controlled by sintering time. The AI 5C master alloy can remarkably reduce the grain size of AZ31 alloy, which decreases with the increasing addition amount of AI-SC master alloy when the addition amount is below 2%. The refining mechanism is attributed to the formation of new compounds of Al-C-Mnparticles by Al4C3 and Mn, which might act as nucleating substrates for a-Mg grain.展开更多

The average grain size of AZ31 alloy decreased firstly and then increased with the increasing addition amount of the Al-5C master alloy,and the optimum addition amounts is 2wt.%.While the AZ31 alloy with 3wt.%Al-5C master alloy solidified under EMS,the average grain size further reduced and is less than that treated only by EMS.The refining mechanism of AZ31 alloy refined by Al-5C master is owing to the polygonal Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5 particles acting as nucleating substrates for α-Mg grain.The more distribution of Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5 and Al4C3 particles generated by EMS contribute to the further refinement when treated by combining with Al-5C refiner.展开更多
