Abstract

Different kinds of feedstock of semisolid a356 aluminum alloy manufactured by EMS stirring only, inoculation of Al-5Ti-B only and combination of inoculation and EMS stirring were investigated. It is found that the grain size of these feedstock are $350{\mu}m$ for EMS casting only, $320{\mu}m$ for inoculation by Al-5Ti-B, and $100{\mu}m$ for the combination of EMS stirring and inoculation of Al-5Ti-B master alloys. The microstructure of the sample obtain by combination of inoculation and EMS system show the best homogeneousness and finest grains.
