Study on Effect of Pulse Electric Field on Solidification Process of Fe-C-S Alloy Melt

Abstract:

It can reduce the grain boundary segregation effectively, and improve the solidification microstructure, as well as cause the migration and redistribution of elements by adding the pulse electric field during the solidification process of the Fe-C-S alloy melt. Where, the element S migrates from the positive polarity to the negative polarity, while the migration law of the element C is reverse to that of the element S. The principal ingredient of the inclusion in solidification microstructure after treatment is FeS and a small amount of MnS, while FeS is distributed at the edge and in the centre area of the whole sample spherically.
