Simultaneous refinement of α-Al and modification of Si in Al–Si alloy achieved via the addition of Y and Zr

Due to the Si/Zr-poisoning effect, conventional refiners often yield unsatisfactory results in refining α-Al grains for Al–Si alloys. In this work, the refinement of α-Al grains and the modification of eutectic Si are simultaneously achieved through the combined addition of Y and Zr to A356 alloy. T...
