Abstract

A review is given of the studies of aluminium inoculation undertaken within the EU Network "Micro-structural Engineering by Solidification Processing" (MEBSP). A wide range of studies of industrial practice of grain refining and of the fundamental mechanisms of nucleation and growth have contributed to improved understanding. Particular advances have been made in understanding the relative performance of different grain refiners.
