A Novel Mg–CaMgSn Master Alloy for Grain Refinement in Mg–Al-Based Alloys

A novel grain refinement method using a CaMgSn intermetallic phase was investigated via adding a Mg–CaMgSn master alloy to an AZ31 magnesium alloy. The results showed a remarkable grain refinement effect in as-cast AZ31, with the average grain size reduced from approximately 260–93 μm after adding 0...
