Abstract

Using the finite element software ANSYS, the effect of different ways of electrodes of pulse electric current on magnetic force and flow field of pure aluminum melt was theoretically studied. The results indicate that the electromagnetic force on the melt and the induced flow distribution are significantly different with different electrode applying manners. The analysis of numerical simulation provides a scientific basis for the further explanation of the mechanism of electric pulse refinement of metal solidification structure.
