In order to settle the environmental pollution and improve the excellent rate of products, ZL109 piston alloy modified by Al9Fe3P master alloy was prepared in factory. The microstructures and mechanical properties of ZL109 piston alloy were invested respectively. The technological parameters and modifying effect of using Al9Fe3P alloy were researched too. Experiments show that high quality of ZL109 pistons can be produced by adding 0.4~0. 5wt% Al9Fe3P master alloy at 760-770°C.The maxim and average grain size of primary Si decrease largely, less than 66μm and 40μm respectively, and the mechanical properties were improved accordingly. It was proved that Al-Fe-P master alloys have advantages such as no pollution, no reaction slag, shorter modifying time and saving energy, which would reduce the total cost of piston products. So Al-Fe-P master alloy is a promising modifier to refine ZL109 piston alloys.

In order to settle environment pollution and provide a high effective and low-cost modifier for refining the primary Si in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys, Al-Fe-P master alloys containing 2.0~5.0% phosphorus have been invented by casting method. The Al-Fe-P master alloys can be conveniently produced and an excellent modification can be obtained by adding 0.3~0.8wt% Al-Fe-P master alloy in Al-Si alloys containing 12%-25% Si at a relatively lower modifying temperature. The number of primary Si increases obviously and the average grain size of primary Si decreases largely, less than 50μm. Furthermore Al-Fe-P master alloys have many advantages, such as low cost, convenient operation technology, no pollution, stable and long-term modification effect, easy storage and etc. Al-Fe-P master alloys have overcome the shortages of current modifier and have a good future for hypereutectic Al-Si alloy modification.

Iron-based alloys (steel and cast iron) are currently the main structural materials that provide a high level of mechanical and technological properties along with a relatively low cost. Increasing the performance characteristics (tensile strength, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and, ultimately, service life) of cast irons and steels is an urgent task. The quality of castings made of cast iron and steel depends on many technological parameters that affect the processes of crystallization of the melt (casting temperature, molding mixture, chemical composition, volume of casting, overheating of the metal during smelting, etc.). It is possible to improve the quality of castings without changing the technology of smelting and pouring metal into molds, if you learn how to manage the crystallization process. The laboratories have grown defect – free iron crystals with a tensile strength of more than 1000 kg/m2 (strength of carbon steel-40 kg/m2). Attempts to improve the mechanical properties by creating a single crystal are not justified, so you have to go the opposite way-to influence the crystallization process to get a lot of small crystals (grains), which also allows you to achieve high mechanical properties. The dependence of the strength characteristics on the grain size is well described by the law of Hall-Petch, according to which when the average grain size is reduced by 3...5 times there is an increase in the hardness of the material, with a further decrease in the average grain size by more than 10 times – an increase in plasticity. Influence on the processes of crystallization of iron and steel melts (change the size of metal grains, change the shape, size and distribution of graphite inclusions) can be the introduction of small additives substances (modifiers), not chemically interacting with the matrix. The use of modifiers to increase the rate of crystallization, reduce the structural heterogeneity of castings has good prospects. In addition, unlike doping, modification does not require a large number of expensive additives and, accordingly, slightly increases the final cost of production.

Abstract Grain refinement has a significant influence on the improvement of mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. In this study, a series of Al–Ti–C-xGd (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) master alloys as grain refiners were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The synthesis mechanism of the Al–Ti–C-xGd master alloy was analyzed. The effects of Al–Ti–C-xGd master alloys on the grain refinement and mechanical properties of AZ31 (Mg-3Al-1Zn-0.4Mn) magnesium alloys were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of the Al–Ti–C-xGd alloy contains α-Al, TiAl3, TiC and the core–shell structure TiAl3/Ti2Al20Gd. The refining effect of the prepared Al–Ti–C–Gd master alloy is obviously better than that of Al–Ti–C master alloy. The grain size of AZ31 magnesium alloy was reduced from 323 μm to 72 μm when adding 1 wt.% Al–Ti–C-2Gd master alloy. In the same condition, the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of as-cast alloy were increased from 130 MPa, 7.9% to 207 MPa, 16.6% respectively.

A series of casting experiments was conducted with A356 aluminum alloys by applying vibration treatment and using Al-TiB2 composite master alloys. The main vibration effects include the promotion of nucleation and a reduction in as-cast grain size. Using composite master alloys with titanium diboride microparticles allows further reduction in the average grain size to 140 µm. The reasons for this behavior are discussed in terms of the complex effect on the melt, considering the destruction of dendrites, and the presence of additional crystallization centers. Tensile tests were performed on the samples obtained during the vibration treatment and with titanium diboride particles. The tensile strength increased from 182 to 227 MPa after the vibration treatment for the alloys containing titanium diboride.

The modification effect of Al-5Ti-1B master alloy on eutectic Mg2Si in Al-Zn-Si-Mg system alloy was investigated in this study. The microstructure shows that an extreme effect can be achieved after the addition of Al-5Ti-1B master alloy into the base alloy. The morphology of eutectic Mg2Si changed from Chinese script to fine polygonal shape, and the size was refined from over 50 μm to under 10 μm. This morphology change is believed to be due to TiB2 particles existing in Al-5Ti-1B master alloy, and the presence of TiB2 particles inside the modified Mg2Si was confirmed by scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM/EDS) observation. The mechanical properties were also improved by the addition of Al-5Ti-1B master alloys. This study investigated the reason for the improvement in mechanical properties with the modification of the microstructure.

Abstract In the paper, an attempt was made to evaluate the effect of preliminary wetting of high-silica base during preparation of moulding sands containing a selected grade of sodium water-glass, designed for hardening by traditional drying or by electromagnetic microwaves at 2.45 GHz. In the research, some water was dosed during stirring the sandmix before adding 1.5 wt% of the binder that was unmodified sodium water-glass grade 137, characterised by high molar module within 3.2 to 3.4. Scope of the examinations included determining the effect of wetting the base on mechanical parameters like compression, bending and tensile strength, as well as on technological parameters like permeability, abrasion resistance and apparent density. The research revealed a significant positive effect of adding water to wet surfaces of high-silica base grains on mechanical properties and quality of moulding sands hardened by physical methods, in particular by microwave heating.

The Al-5wt.%Cu based alloy with different levels of Al5Ti1B master alloy additions have been prepared by conventional casting method. The effect of Al5Ti1B contents on microstructure of Al-Cu based alloy was studied by means of XRD, OM and SEM. The results show that when the addition level of Al5Ti1B master alloy is less than 0.6wt.%, the average grain size of the alloys decreases with the increase of Al5Ti1B content. But the grain size increases somewhat with further addition of Al5Ti1B. It is considered that TiB2 particles can serve as the heterogeneous nucleation sites of α-Al during solidification, and heterogeneous nucleation is the main reason of the grain refinement of Al-Cu based alloy. The superior comprehensive mechanical properties of tensile strength of 435 MPa and elongation of 11% of the refined Al-5wt.%Cu based alloy with 0.6% Al5Ti1B were obtained after solution and aging treatment.

Series of Al–P master alloys including binary Al–P and Al–Si/Zr–P master alloys containing pre-formed phosphides have been developed. Hypereutectic A390 alloys have shown fast refinement response to the addition of series of Al–P master alloys. After refined at 780°C for 30 min, the coarse primary Si can be refined obviously from 90 μm to less than 20 μm. In addition, the morphologies of primary Si are changed from coarse polygon to near-sphere shape, and the distribution is improved simultaneously.
