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
