Microstructure and refinement mechanism of Al–5Ti–1B alloys
Two kinds of Al–5Ti–1B alloys were prepared by powder mixing + hot extrusion and powder mixing + gas atomization + hot extrusion, respectively. The microstructures of the Al–5Ti–1B alloys prepared by two kinds of processes were studied, and the grain ...

Grain Refinement of Al-5Ti-0.62C-0.2Nd Grain Refiner for Commercial Pure Aluminum and Its Effect on Mechanical Properties [PDF]
It is well known that the mechanical properties of commercial pure Al are influenced by size of α-Al dendrites. In the present work, Al-5Ti-0.62C-0.2Nd grain refiner was prepared by a pure molten aluminum thermal explosion reaction, and its effect on ...

Grain refinement efficiency of a new oxide-containing master alloy for aluminium casting alloys [PDF]
In this study, grain refinement efficiency of a new oxide master alloy based on MgAl2O4 was demonstrated on an A357 alloy. The grain size of the reference alloy was reduced by 50-60% with the addition of the master alloy and introduction of ultrasonic ...

Additional grain boundary strengthening in length-scale architectured copper with ultrafine and coarse domains [PDF]
The strength of polycrystals is known to increase with decreasing grain size, known as Hall-Petch effect. However, this relationship fails to predict the strength of samples with a non-uniform distribution of grain sizes.
