It was investigated that the response of the casting structure of high pure aluminum to EPM in different superheated melts. The results indicate that the grain refining effect of a given pulse electric field holds an optimal temperature range, moreover, a lower or higher superheated temperature will both disadvantage the improvements of casting structure. It essentially lies in the cooperative action between the distorted absorption of clusters and the activated capability of atoms in the aluminum melt.展开更多

This critical mischmetal content is about 0.15%. Only when the mischmetal content is above 0.15%, the secondary dendrite arm spacing decreased and eutectic structure fined. The cast grain is obviously refined when the content of mischmetal is lower. Consideration from the cast structure, the suitable mischmetal content in 6063 alloys is 0.20%.展开更多

Theresults show that the CSP thin slab has a feature of uniform fine grains, more columnar crystals,less central porosity and segregation etc. There is no great difference in macrostructure betweenthe CSP thin slab and conventional slab; however, the fine dendrite structure of the CSP slab ismore uniform. Moreover, the central porosity and segregation are obviously improved after the firstpass; and the dendrite is bent along the rolling direction rather than broken into pieces. Smallinclusions with the diameter less than 10 mum in the CSP slab are dominantly consisted of aluminatesformed by Al deoxidation and Ca treatment and not floating out of the melt. The large sizeinclusions found in the continuous casting slab are very few.展开更多
