<p>The effects of ultrasonic treatment (UST) using a titanium (Ti) sonotrode in a fully liquid stage on the grain refinement and mechanical properties of as-cast Al–Mg alloy billets were investigated. To clarify the grain refinement mechanism, the grain size (GS) and dendrite arm spacing (DAS) were examined as functions of the growth restriction factor (Q) dependent on the Ti dissolution from the sonotrode, and compared to those in the as-cast and re-melted states of the samples inoculated using an Al–10 mass%Ti master alloy. In addition, the formation and dissolution behavior of Al3Ti intermetallic particles acting as a heterogeneous nuclei was indirectly observed by measuring the electrical resistivity during isochronal annealing. In comparison with the chemical refiner inoculation, the UST effectively refined not only the GS but also the DAS, both of which showed similar slightly concave upward curves with an increasing slope against 1/Q. Electrical resistivity measurement results provided indirect evidence that the dissolved Ti was present as a solute during the solidification stage. The GS, DAS, and electrical resistivity results all suggest that the dissolved Ti refined the GS primarily by solute-induced growth restriction effect rather than by providing heterogeneous nucleation sites. The UST effect on the microstructure refinement was efficient when the Ti-dissolution content was as low as less than 0.05 mass%. The refinement of grains, Al3Fe particles, dendrites, and pores by the UST significantly improved mechanical properties, especially the elongation at break.</p>
