【文章摘要】 The effects of electromagnetic vibration (EMV) on the refinement and migration of primary silicons in the Al-18 wt pct Si alloy were investigated systematically. It was found that EMV could effectively refine primary silicons. The equivalent diameter of primary silicon first decreases slowly with the current increasing from 1 A to 3 A, but then drops rapidly between 3 A and 10 A, next gradually decreases with increasing current intensity. When the EMV intensity was low, the primary silicons were agglomerated and expelled to the top of a sample, the segregation of silicon grains gradually decreased and the agglomerating phenomena disappeared with the increase of EMV intensity, and the star-like coarse primary silicons turned refined flake or square morphology. The refinement and migration of primary silicons depended on the Lorentz force, gravity and the effective viscous force. |
