The Mechanism Research of Electric Current Pulse and Electromagnetic for Grain Refinement of 6181 Aluminum Alloys During Two-roll Casting

Guangming Xu

6181 aluminum alloys sheets were produced by two-roll casting with electric current pulse and magnetic fields, and the microstructures were observed. The experimental results show that application of composite fields (ECP and EM field) during TRC process refines the microstructures of sheets more evenly and effectively by comparison with individual application of ECP or EM field. For visually explaining the phenomenon, the distribution and amplitude of the magnetic induction intensity B and electromagnetic force F were obtained by numerically simulated. In addition, an obvious improvement of tensile strength by physical fields was measured. But the maximum elongation was from action of magnetic field  and reached 10.9%.
