The microstructure was investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the Al-3Ti-0.2C-1RE grain refiner is composed of α-Al, TiAl , TiC and Ti Al Ce phases. 3 2 20 Compared with Al-3Ti-0.2C refiner, the morphology of TiAl phase is changed and Ti Al Ce phases form with the addition of RE. 3 2 20 Accordingly, the refining performance is improved. The phase forming process of the refiner is as follows: Blocky Ti Al Ce and fine 2 20 blocky TiAl3 form in the melt at the initial stage of reaction, then the fine blocky
