Abstract
The effect of electromagnetic vibration(EMV)on the solidification structure of Cu-15Ni-8Sn alloy during bulk solidification and the upward continuous casting was investigated experimentally and numerically.The bulk solidification results indicated that in the case of B=0.5 T and J=1.27 x 105 A/m2,the most effective grain refinement frequency was at f=10 Hz,where fine non-dendrites were obtained.The so-lidification structure became coarser at f=0.1 Hz and f=1 Hz compared to the case of f=10 Hz,while no grain refinement was observed at f=100 Hz.The numerical simulations showed that at f=10 Hz,the strong melt convection surrounding the primary solid phase promotes the diffusion of the rejected solute,consequently,resulting in a reduction of the solute boundary layer,which leads to the decrease in the nucleation-free zone(NFZ)and the grain refinement.Additionally,the most effective grain refinement frequency transformed to 1 Hz when the electromagnetic force was reduced by five times.Moreover,we proposed that the most effective grain refinement frequency range aligns with the EMV-induced rela-tive displacement in the range of 102-103 μm.Finally,the upward continuous casting was conducted to validate the relative displacement range,and the experimental results matched well.
