HIT 6.CONCLUSIONS
HIT Summary The magnetic field intensity decreases quickly with increasing the distance from the surface of the inductor. The component By and Bz get the maximum values at the slot and tooth respectively. Over the inductor, more space is By>Bz. Travelling magnetic field can enhance the mould-filling velocity remarkably. For Al alloy melt of 660oC, the mold cavity with 570mm in length, 140mm in width and 3mm in thickness can be filled fully under the condition of 43.9mT. While under gravity, the melt can flow only 50mm in length. Travelling magnetic field also cause negative effect on the castings., the velocity of the melt front increases quickly because of electromagnetic force during filling processing and this results in the decrease of the cross section area of the forward filling melt. This is the reason of the misrun or cold shut formation. Another problem is pit surface on the bottom surface of the plate casings. Its formation reason is existed y direction electromanetic field.
