Abstract
⺠Scandium can be used to refine aluminum grains in an Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloy. ⺠The effectiveness of Sc is lower than that of conventional Al-Ti grain refiners. ⺠Al3Sc particles can act as heterogeneous nuclei of aluminum phases. ⺠Higher alloying elements cause more intermetallic compound phases. ⺠Those phases cannot effectively act as heterogeneous nuclei compared with Al3Sc particles.
