Effects of Electromagnetic Parameters on the Process of Low Frequency Electromagnetic Hot-Top Casting of Aluminium Alloy

Abstract:

During the low frequency electromagnetic casting process, the electromagnetic parameter plays an important role among the casting parameters. In this work, effects of electromagnetic parameters on the electromagnetic field and body force are analyzed by constructing a two-dimensional finite element model and using ANSYS software which is a kind of commercial FEM analysis software. The results show that the current frequency mainly influences the distribution of electromagnetic body force, the current intensity determines the intensity of electromagnetic body force, and the current frequency and intensity should be matched during the low frequency electromagnetic casting process.
