Samples are investigated using XRF, optical electron microscope, SEM & EDX, mechanical tests, hardness and tensile strength.The results showed that the highest grain refining is obtained after TMT of alloy containing RE and Si (13æm), also has highest hardness 79 HV, maximum tensile strength 337 MPa, greater yield strength 207 MPa, and best elongation 17% ER -
