	abstract = {A new grain refiner master alloy based on the Al-Zr-Ti system was prepared by salt-assisted synthesis. Of the Al3Zr particles in the master alloy, 90\% were ranged between 1 {\textmu}m and 13 {\textmu}m. An 80\% reduction in the grain size was observed with the addition of an equivalent 0.2 wt.\% Zr master alloy combined with ultrasonic treatment in an Al alloy. The new master alloy demonstrated a 30\% improvement in grain refinement efficiency as compared to the master alloy prepared from conventional binary master alloys.},
