Abstract The influence of SrCO3 on the microstructure of AZ31 magnesium alloy has been investigated. The results show that AZ31 magnesium alloy has the best refining effect when the AZ31 magnesium alloy with addition of 0.6% SrCO3 in 760, the average grain size of the α–Mg grain decreases from about 570±15 μm of AZ31 base alloy to 110±10 μm, the reduced extent is about 80.7%.Based on the analysis of EDS, Ebind and Gibbs free energy, the mechanism of grain refiner was generation of Al4C3 that can be used as crystallization center of the Mg when SrCO3 added. Due to the generation of Al4C3 in AZ31 magnesium alloy, the grain boundary is pined and the grain growth is limited. The Al element was quickly pushed to the grain boundary along with the solid/quid intergace,and generated the β– Mg17Al12 phase along the grain boundary which has an effect of immobilizing the grain boundaries.
