Effects of Preparation Processing on Microstructure and Refining Effects of Al-5Ti-0.25C-2RE Master Alloy
Al-5Ti-0.25C-2RE grain refiner was prepared by different RE adding sequences. Microstructure and refining efficiency of the master alloy on pure aluminum were investigated by optical microscope
X-ray diffraction. The results show that Al-5Ti-0.25C-2RE master alloys prepared by two kinds of processing are composed of α-Al phase
TiAl3 phase
TiC particle and irregular blocky or wrapped Ti2Al20Ce phase. Due to the promotion in the formation of TiC particle and improvement of the size of TiAl3 phase
desirable refining efficiency on pure aluminum can be obtained by adding 0.5% Al-5Ti-0.25C-2RE master alloy which is prepared by adding RE in early stage
compared with that prepared by adding in later stage.
