摘要
The effect of high density pulse electric current (HDPEC) on the solidification structure of the low temperature melt(LTM) of commercial A356 alloy was investigated. In the experiments, the HDPEC was discharged in the LTM (953?K, 903?K and 873?K). By the control experiments, the results showed that the solidification structure of the LTM of A356 alloy is refined apparently when the HDPEC is discharged in low temperature melt. However, the holding time of melt treated has an adverse effect on the solidification structure. The longer the holding time of the melt treated with HDPEC, the coarser the microstructure. With the same discharge voltage, the lower the temperature of LTM, the more obscure the refinement of solidification structure. Finally, the mechanism of microstructure refining by HDPEC was analyzed.
