Studies to investigate the oxidation behavior of Al–Mg alloys with Al-5 mass%Ti-1 mass%B master alloy as a grain refiner at high temperature were conducted. The Scheil-Gulliver cooling calculation showed that, in 0.2 mass%Ti-inoculated alloy, TiAl3 was formed before the primary Al formation, which may act as a grain refiner. The optical microstructures showed a significant grain refinement after the addition of 0.2 mass%Ti using Al-5 mass%Ti-1 mass%B master alloy. Moreover, the oxidized cross-sections, throughout the oxidation time, show coarse and dark areas (regarded as oxide clusters), which were nonuniformly distributed in the matrix after oxidation at 500 °C under an ambient atmosphere. In addition, an accumulation of oxygen by diffusion for a long duration led to the growth of blisters after 50 h. At the oxidation temperature, Mg3Ti2Al18 was found to be only stable Ti-containing phase and possibly formed MgO by the interaction with the diffused oxygen.

The microstructural characters and refining property of Al-Ti-C grain refinement alloy prepared by ultrasound coupling method were studied by analytical means such as SEM, and the reaction synthesis mechanism of Al-Ti-C grain refinement was discussed. Experimental results show that the Al-Ti-C alloy refiner using “thermite reduction method” under high-energy ultrasound was prepared experimentally. Its microstructure character is that master alloy has smaller size of TiC, its quantities are larger and are dispersed. Melt reaction is generally that the source of titanium releases Ti atoms under high temperature of ultrasonic. Ti atoms react with aluminum to generate TiAl3, and react with carbon to generate TiC.

In this study, the effects of constituent phases on the oxidation kinetics of an Al-7 mass%Mg alloy containing a trace of Ca were investigated. A Mg+Al2Ca master alloy was used to add Mg and Ca simultaneously. Scheil-Gulliver cooling by thermodynamic calculation showed that the addition of Ca led to the formation of Ca-based intermetallic compounds, such as Al4Ca and Laves C36, after solidification. Based on weight increase indicated by the oxidation test and surface analysis, it was found that the presence of Ca-based phases significantly improved the oxidation resistance and slowed down the oxidation rates. Based on the review of phase diagrams with oxygen partial pressure by thermodynamic calculation, it was thought that in the initial oxidation, MgO and MgAl2O4 were formed on the surfaces of the Al–Mg alloys, leading to further oxidation. The Ca-based intermetallic compounds formed Ca–Mg–Al based oxides, which possibly contributed to the formation of a relatively dense oxide layer.

PLT and the Doppler broadening S-parameter were used to characterize the Al-Mg alloys, AA5005, AA5051, AA5052 and AA5083. The trapping efficiencies of these alloys were estimated to be 2.42 x 109, 2.29 x 109, 2.24 x 109 and 2.27 x 109 s-1 cm3, respectively, and the corresponding trapping cross-sections were estimated to be 2.66 x 10-16, 2.14 x 10-16, 2.10 x 10-16 and 3.51 x 10-16 cm2. It was found to be very clear that the mean lifetime and S-parameter exhibited the same behaviour as a function of the degree of deformation, and that they saturated at the same degree of thickness reduction.
