The invention relates to a
precision casting method for refining aluminum
alloy by using an adjustable traveling wave
magnetic field, belonging to the technical field of
casting. The invention aims to solve the technical problems of high cost and difficulty in control in the process of grain refining and compacting for changing the properties of aluminum
alloy in the prior art. The method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: 1. heating to melt aluminum
alloy, and carrying out heat preservation,, thus obtaining an aluminum alloy molten
mass; and 2. putting a
casting mold, which is made of a non-magnetic material, in a traveling wave
magnetic field inductor, turning on the traveling wave
magnetic field inductor, adjusting the magnetic
field intensity of the traveling wave magnetic field
inductor, injecting the aluminum alloy molten
mass obtained in the step 1 into the
casting mold, and applying a traveling wave magnetic field, of which the magnetic field direction is vertically downward and the magnetic induction intensity is 32-500mT, onto the aluminum alloy molten
mass to solidify the aluminum alloy under the traveling wave magnetic field, thereby completing the
precision casting of the aluminum alloy. The method provided by the invention is easy to control and low in cost; and by utilizing the method provided by the invention, the obtained alloy
crystal grains are fine, bubbles and voids can be effectively reduced, and the
metal feeding capacity in the solidification process can be enhanced.
