Abstract

In the present work, the influence of Al-Sr and Mg-Sr master alloys on the as-cast microstructure of the AZ31 magnesium alloy was investigated,and the refinement efficiencies of both master alloys were also analyzed and compared. The research results indicate that both the Al-Sr and Mg-Sr master alloys have obvious refinement effect on the as-cast microstructure of the AZ31 magnesium alloy, and the refinement efficiency of the Mg-Sr master alloys was better than that of the Al-Sr master alloys. The mechanisms for the differences of grain refinement efficiency between Al-Sr and Mg-Sr master alloys on the AZ31 magnesium alloys were also discussed.
