An addition of a high level of 0.6 wt% Sc imposed a remarkable grain refining effect on Al-5Mg alloy for as-cast condition, changing typical dendrite microstructure into fine equiaxed grains. Such effect was found to be related to the extensively formed Sc-rich particles. Electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD), Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and SEM-elemental mapping were employed to investigate the inner structure of these particles and their role in grain refining. They could be identified as some eutectic structure consist of multilayer of 'Al3Sc+alpha-Al+Al3Sc....', which shows good consistency in orientation both in the particle and matrix.
