Abstract: | The principle of electromagnetic separation of phases (primary phase) in alloy melt is that the electromagnetic force scarcely
acts on the primary phases due to its low electric conductivity as compared to the melt. As a result, a repulsive force acts
on the primary iron-rich phases to push them to move in the direction opposite to that of the electromagnetic force. The in-situ surface composite and the functionally gradient composite reinforced by primary Si are produced when the hypereutectic Al-Si
alloy solidifies under electromagnetic force induced by static magnetic field and DC current. Similarly, the Al-Si-1.20 pct
Fe-1.60 pct Mn alloy in-situ surface composite reinforced by primary iron-rich phase is produced. Based on this, a new method for production of in-situ multigradient composite with several layers, by electromagnetic separation of phases and directional solidification technique,
is proposed. |
