  2. Metal Solidification Research Group, Shanghai University Four Parts: • Background • Experimental procedure • Results and discussion • Conclusions

  3. Metal Solidification Research Group, Shanghai University Background: • Can obviously refine the solidification structure • No research on pure metal, e.g. Al • No consensus is acquired about the effect of magnetic field • Little information is available about the refinement mechanism

  4. Metal Solidification Research Group, Shanghai University Experimental procedure: • High-voltage pulsed power source and the solidification equipment • Materials choose: pure Al, gray iron and stainless steel • Analysis methods: OM, TA

  15. Metal Solidification Research Group, Shanghai University Conclusions: The solidified structure of pure aluminum evolved from columnar grains to equi-axed ones, and the grain size becomes smaller as the augment of the intensity of pulsed magnetic field. The effect of the pulsed magnetic field on the solidification temperature of Al can be neglected. The pulsed magnetic field can refine and improve the graphite morphology of the gray iron. Also, the pulsed magnetic field can decrease its undercooling of the eutectic transformation.

  16. Metal Solidification Research Group, Shanghai University Conclusions: The solidification structures of austenitic stainless steel are changed from coarse columnar crystals to narrow and thin ones after adding pulsed magnetic field. However, equi-axed grains can’t be obtained.
