In centrifugal casting, the centrifugal force on the particles leads to the formation of composite structures, while in the proposed method, the electromag- netic force field on the particles results in the designed structure of the composite casting. The article reports the experimental verification of this method using an aluminium sleeve reinforced locally with SiC particles at the inner wall.展开更多
