Popis: The effect of Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner addition on solidification microstructure, especially the formation of the binary eutectic (Al)+Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2was investigated in Al-5Mg-2Si-0.7Mn-1.1Fe (wt.%) alloy. The experimental results showed that the solidification microstructure were consisted of primary α-Al phase, inter dendritic binary eutectic (Al)+Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2, and ternary eutectic (Al+Mg2Si+Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2). The heterogeneous nucleation of the primary (Al) phase in the alloys was greatly enhanced by the Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner, refining the (Al) grains significantly. The subsequent binary eutectic was nucleated on these refined (Al) phase. Consequently, the size of Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2phase with a Chinese script morphology in the binary eutectic was greatly refined, without much change in the secondary branch spacing.
