The microstructure and grain refinement of Al-4.5Er-1Zr-1.5Ti master alloy were analyzed by the refinement experiment, OM, SEM and XRD. The results show that the grain size of pure aluminum is reduced from 14000μm to 202μm by Al-4.5Er-1Zr-1.5Ti master alloy, which is mainly due to the nucleation promoted by Ti2Al20Er, Al3Er and Al3Ti. Plastic deformation further improves the refining effect of the material by improving the primary phase size, and the Al-4.5Er-1Zr-1.5Ti -2ARB can refine the pure aluminum from 202mμm to 150μm, and the refinement was increased by 25.7%. The master alloy showed a better refinement effect in Al-5Cu alloy than pure aluminum, with a grain size of 92μm and a refinement improvement of 97.8%.
