The Effect of the Electromagnetic Vibration on the Microstructure, Segregation, and Mechanical Properties of As-Cast AZ80 Magnesium Alloy Billet

From: Metallurgical and Materials Transactions | Date: December 1, 2006| Author: Cui, Jianzhong; Han, Yi; Le, Qichi; Zhao, Zhihao; Guo, Shijie | Copyright information

The effect of the electromagnetic vibration on the properties of 300-mm-diameter AZ80 Mg billets was investigated. The experiments were performed both in the absence and in the presence of electromagnetic vibrating force fields, which were induced by an interaction of variable and stationary magnetic fields. In conventional direct-chill (DC) casting, the AZ80 billet exhibited large dendritic grains with severe segregations of Al and Zn. Applying the electromagnetic vibration during the castin...
