The effects of various Mg-Sr master alloys(conventional as-cast,rapidly-solidified,rolled and solutionized) on microstructural refinement of ZK60 magnesium alloy were investigated.The results indicate that the refinement efficiency of various Mg-Sr master alloys in ZK60 alloy is different.The rolled Mg-Srmaster alloy is found to have relatively higher refinement efficiency than the conventional as-cast,solutionized and rapidly-solidified Mg-Sr master alloys.After being treated with the rolled Mg-Sr master alloy,the ZK60 alloy obtains the minimum average grain size of 33μm.The difference of various Mg-Sr master alloys in refinement efficiency might be related to the initial microstructure change of various Mg-Sr master alloys.
