► For grain refinement and modification studies Ti, B and Sr were used . The Master alloys used are Al-3Ti, Al-3B and Al-10Sr. ► For the preparation of forged tensile specimen, pneumatic power hammer was used. ► Test includes microstructural and mechanical properties study like, 0.2%PS, UTS, %E, %R,...
