PCT No. PCT/SE96/01517 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 4, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 4, 1998 PCT Filed Nov. 21, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/19200 PCT Pub. Date May 29, 1997The invention is a method of controlling the grain refinement of certain aluminium alloys. The grain sizes for different values of the grain growth index, GGI, are determined for the used casting method. The GGI is represented by the sum of m(k-1) value multiplied with the concentration for every element in the aluminium alloy. If the value for a certain alloy is compared with known relations between the m(k-1) value and the grain size the composition of the alloy melt is amended to an optimum grain size by adding a grain size affecting agent. The method can be further improved by optimising the amount of nucleating agent.
