摘要
A significant refining effect of alpha-Al grains from 200 mu m to 42 mu m can be achieved by addition of 0.1 wt.% FeBSi metallic glass, which is mainly attributed to the crystallization of Fe2B phase being able to act as the heterogeneous nucleation sites of alpha-Al grains during solidification. Within an inoculation time of 30 min, the inoculated Al-Cu alloys remain a fine grained structure. Moreover, the strength and ductility of the inoculated alloys are simultaneously improved. The enhanced properties of Al-Cu alloy inoculated by metallic glass are mainly due to the refined alpha-Al grains, the small theta' precipitates distributed homogeneously in grain interior and the formation of the nano-sized AlCuFeMn phase. This study provides a high-efficiency and cost-effective processing technique of refinement in this alloy, and at the same time, broadens the industry application of metallic glass.
