Insights into Poisoning Mechanism of Zr by First Principle Calculation on Adhesion Work and Adsorption Energy between TiB<sub>2</sub>, Al<sub>3</sub>Ti, and Al<sub>3</sub>Zr

Al-Ti-B intermediate alloys are widely used as grain refiners in aluminum alloys owing to the presence of Al<sub>3</sub>Ti and TiB<sub>2</sub> phases. However, the existence of Zr in aluminum alloy melts often results in coarse grain size, leading to Al-Ti-B failure called Zr...
