Abstract: | AbstractAn experimental study with respect to the influence of electric current pulse (ECP) on the solidification structure of molten silicon steel was investigated with a copper mould designed to simulate the twin roll casting process. The experimental results showed that the application of ECP can increase the proportion of equiaxed grains up to 67·5%. The mechanism of exerting ECP is also discussed. It can be confirmed that the application of ECP on twin roll casting could effectively improve the solidification structure of silicon steel strip. |
