In this paper the solidification behavior of Sn-Sb peritectic alloy and the mechanism of grain refinement in solidification process under high-intensity ultrasonic field are investigated. Three different powers of high-intensity ultrasound are introduced into molten Sn-Sb peritectic alloy to study the refining effectiveness. The results show that the application of high-intensity ultrasound during solidification process of Sn-Sb peritectic alloy can refine α phase and β phase and eliminate gravity segregation of the alloy. As acoustic intensity is increased from 400 W to 800 W, not only the homogenous fine structure can be obtained, but also the cubic β phase crystals tend to be spherical. Microstructure of the sample treated by 600 W high-intensity ultrasound demonstrates the best refining effect.
