[1][2] The aim of the experiments was the determination of the grain refining effects of titanium (Ti) addition in the form of AlTi5B1 master alloy to the examined alloys (AlSi7MgCu0.5 – AC 42 000, AlSi9Cu3Fe0.5 – 46 500; AlSi9Cu1 – AC 46 400). The results prove that the addition of small amount of master alloy has a favourable effect on the foundry practice.application/pdffolyóiratcikkOpen Accessby the authorshttps://doi.org/10.21791/IJEMS.2019.1.2.International Journal of Engineering and Management Sciences142498-700X
