Comparison of the Grain-Refining Efficiencies of Ti and LaB6 Inoculants in Additively Manufactured 2024 Aluminum Alloy: The Important Role of Solutes
The present work aims to boost our understanding of factors governing the grain-refining efficiency of inoculation treatments by comparing the grain-refining efficiencies of two inoculators: Ti nanoparticles and LaB6 nanoparticles, in a 2024 Al alloy during additive manufacturing (AM).Experimental results obtained by scanning electron microscopy sh
