Feeding Mathematical Modeling of Superalloy Vacuum-Electromagnetic Casting and its Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

The new technology of superalloy vacuum-electromagnetic casting was developed and the feeding mathematical model melt in vacuum-electromagnetic casting was established. The availability of mathematical model was approved by the experiments of the IN100 superalloy. The experimental results indicate that the feeding capacity of melt in vacuum casting can be greatly increased by imposing the 50Hz, 60A rotating electromagnetic stirring, which can decrease the central shrinkage cavity in superalloy ingots, so the quality of the superalloy ingots can be wide-range improved.
