Effect of the High Rotating Magnetic Field (min. 30 mT) on the Unidirectionally Solidified Structure of Al7Si0.6Mg Alloy

Abstract:

The topic of this paper is the unidirectional solidification of ternary Al7Si0.6Mg aluminium alloy in a rotating magnetic field of 30 -150 mT and the characterisation of effect of stirring on the solidified structure. During performing the experiment-series, one of the three solidification parameters (temperature gradient, solid/liquid interface velocity and magnetic induction) was continuously changed and the other two of them was kept on a constant value. The effect of these parameters on the developed structures was analysed during the evaluation of the experimental results. Moreover, the extent of Si-macrosegregation as well as the change of the secondary dendrite arm spacing were investigated on the longitudinal and cross-sections of samples as a function of the three basic parameters.
