In-Situ Analysis of Bulk Solidifying the Hyper-Monotectic Alloy Under a Compound Electric-Magnetic Field by Physical Simulation

A physical simulation was carried out to investigate the realistic experiment of bulk solidifying the Zn-Bi hyper-monotectic alloy under various compound electric-magnetic fields(CEMF).For this experiment,two crucial parameters determinate the cast microstructure,the one is electric-magnetic force(EMF)and the other is the frequency of AC current.Results show that the minor phase could be mixed in the other phase from the initial layered structure when the EMF above a specific value under fixed frequency,and the average diameter of minor phase droplet decreases with increasing EMF.The evolution of the liquid phases structure is reasonable agree with the realistic experiment of Zn-Bi hyper-monotectic alloy,which suggests that the mechanism revealed by the physical simulation could represent the one in the realistic experiment.
