Abstract

The effects of grain refinement and melt stirring on the mechanical properties and fluidity of AZ91D and AM50 alloys were investigated. The average grain sizes of those alloys were reduced by the micro-addition of strontium. The tensile properties and fluidity were increased by this treatment. Those were reduced remarkably by the melt stirring.
