Synergistic Effect of La and TiB<sub>2</sub> Particles on Grain Refinement in Aluminum Alloy

Synergistic effect of TiB<sub>2</sub> (in form of Al-5Ti-1B) and La on grain refining results in Al-2Cu alloy was investigated. α-Al grains are significantly refined by Al-5Ti-1B. When trace La is added to the melt, further refinement is exhibited. Average grain size and nucleation under...
