Abstract

The present invention is vertical semi-continuous light alloy casting process and apparatus with cooperation of power ultrasonic field and low frequency electromagnetic field. During casting, one low frequency electromagnetic field acting on the surface of metal molt and one power ultrasonic field acting on the crystallizer axis part are applied simultaneously. The present invention can reduce the transverse temperature gradient in casting blank solidification, alter liquid hole shape, raise the homogeneity of the casting blank and raise casting blank quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of light alloy casting, and in particular relates to a method and equipment for vertical semi-continuous casting of large-size ingots of light alloys through the synergistic effect of two external fields, power ultrasonic and low-frequency electromagnetic. Background technique [0002] Applying an external field is a very effective method to change the solidification behavior of metals, such as applying electric fields, currents, magnetic fields (including permanent magnetic fields, electromagnetic fields, pulsed electromagnetic fields, combined electromagnetic fields, etc.), ultrasonic waves, mechanical waves, etc. during solidification, all of which have an effect on the alloy's stability during DC casting. Temperature field, flow field, concentration field, and solidification behavior such as nucleation and growth. Among them, applying an electromagnetic field is an efficient, economical and easy-to-imple...
