Al-Ti-C-Ce master alloy was prepared by villiaumite based on ratio of w(Ti)∶w(C)=15∶1.The microstructure and grain-refining performance of Al-Ti-C-Ce mater alloy were investigated using optical microscopy(OM)
SEM
and the chemical composition of the selected areas were tested by EDAX and EPMA.The results indicate that the shape and distribution of TiAl
3
and TiC are improved
and the TiC particles are refined
leading to the homogeneous distribution of TiAl
3
and TiC phases.TiAl

can react with rare-earth Ce to form Ti
