Ingots of 6063 aluminum alloy were produced by AIRSOL VEIL casting with double-layer cooling water and static magnetic field. Surface segregation, hot crack and variation of solute content along the radius direction of ingot were examined. The results showed that double-layer cooling water can improve the surface quality and avoid of hot crack, which created conditions to increase the casting speed. The electromagnetic casting process can effectively improve the surface quality in high speed casting process, and static magnetic field has a great influence on solute distribution along the radius direction of ingot.展开更多

The N_2-air flow was measured as the magnetic flux density varying from 0~1.5 T.A strengthened vortex flow of air was observed under the condition that the magnetic field was applied,and the ve- locity of N_2 jet rose with the increase of the magnetic density.The experimental results show that the magnetic force will induce a vortex flow and cause a convection flow of the air mixture when both gradients of the O_2 concentration and the magnetic field intensity exist.展开更多

Accurate results can easily be achieved using the proposed method without using the tedious finite element analysis (FEA). In this paper, the electromagnetic torque of a surface mounted PM motor with two phases energized is decomposed into four torque components. This technique is useful not only for the design and optimization of the permanent magnet motor, but also for the choice of control strategy.展开更多
