Effect of solute content on the grain refinement of binary alloys

Data are presented for the grain refining of Al--Si and Pb--Sb alloy systems. These show a minimum grain size near the maximum solubility limit. An explanation in terms of the solidification interval is presented. In general, the optimum grain refining is predicted to occur at the solubility limit s...

Zusammenfassung:	Data are presented for the grain refining of Al--Si and Pb--Sb alloy systems. These show a minimum grain size near the maximum solubility limit. An explanation in terms of the solidification interval is presented. In general, the optimum grain refining is predicted to occur at the solubility limit since it is at this concentration that the solidification times are longest. 9 ref.--AA(UK/US).
