The effect of CEMF on the ingot surface quality and floating grains is investigated. The results show that the CEMF is effective in reducing the segregation layer in both top and bottom sub-surfaces. Big floating grains with coarse dendrite arms mainly distribute in the crescent-shaped area near the bottom in the conven- tional HDC casting ingot. With the application of the CEMF, they disappear in the whole cross section of the HDC casting ingot and the equiaxed grains are significantly refined.展开更多

The results of numerical analysis show that the interaction of the out-phase electromagnetic field and the melt can generate an electromagnetically induced forced flow in the melt, which, in turn, changes flow pattern and temperature field in the mold. The as-cast structure of the ingot can be greatly improved by the changes of flow pattern and temperature field. The results of experimental analysis show that with application of out-phase electromagnetic field, temperature distribution in the melt is more uniform, grain morphology changes from columnar grains to equiaxed grains and grain size decreases.展开更多
