For better understanding from all aspects on the hereditary properties, the present research deals with the heredity destruction and the secondary EPM procedure. It is shown that the secondary EPM is capable of preventing the heredity reduction of EP-modified liquid aluminum, and that the final refining effect has a close relationship with technique parameters of the secondary EPM. Furthermore, at a certain superheated temperature depending on the initial EPM technique parameters, the heredity relationship of EP-modified liquid aluminum can be cut off during remelting. High temperature X-ray diffraction combining with the DSC tests also indicates that the EP-induced structure changes have almost disappeared at an elevated remelting temperature.展开更多

For the difference of electro-migration, the atom of solute and solution will accumulate around the cluster, and then the smaller cluster may reorganize and grow up under the action of the coupled field. We also apply the electrostatic induction theory to analyze the bearing behavior of the half side of the cluster. The bigger the cluster is, the stronger the electrostatic force is, therefore, the bigger cluster's stability is weak apparently. The study indi- cates that the cluster in the superheated molten has the homogeneous tendency under the effect of PEF.展开更多
