Grain refinement of primary silicon in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys by different P-containing compounds [PDF]
The grain refinement behavior of Si-3P, Si-25Mn-10P, and Al-10Si-2Fe-3P master alloys on hypereutectic Al-24Si alloy was studied. Microstructure analysis indicates that the P-containing compounds in the three master alloys are SiP, MnP, and AlP ...

The origins of spontaneous grain refinement in deeply undercooled metallic melts [PDF]
Spontaneous grain refinement in undercooled metallic melts has been a topic of enduring interest within the solidification community since its discovery more than 50 years ago. Here we present a comparative study of the solidification microstructures and
