Abstract
Aluminum has been the secondly main metallic material in the world, whose mechanical properties are very important for industrial applications. The sizes and shapes of grains are important in determining the performance in structural applications. How to control the microstructure during solidification process has been a research focus. This paper gives an overview on the recent progress in microstructure control for aluminium alloys solidification process, and introduces the different methods to control the microstructure in detail. The mechanisms of microstructure control for different methods are also discussed. Finally, a brief prospect on future work is presented.
