The mechanism of Fe-rich intermetallic compound formation and growth on inoculants revealed by electron backscattered diffraction and X-ray imaging

Fe-rich intermetallics affect critically the mechanical properties and recyclability of aluminium alloys. Increasing effort has been spent on the inoculation of these intermetallics, hoping to promote a finer distribution. Recently Al-5Ti-1B (wt.%), originally developed to refine α-Al, has been show...
