Mathematical modeling of MHD processes in the casting of aluminum alloys in electromagnetic mold

Abstract The article contains the overview of mathematical modeling of electromagnetic field and magnetohydrodynamic process of the ingot moulding during casting into the electromagnetic mold. We have formulated the system of equations describing the molding process. The authors describe the principle of casting into the electromagnetic mould to produce small diameter ingots, as well as the results obtained. This article gives the analysis of magnetohydrodynamic flows in the area of molding and their impact on the resulting ingot. It is shown that the intensity of the MHD processes is influenced by the frequency of the supply voltage and the shape of the crystallization front. The calculations are based on favorable conditions for the formation of a homogeneous, fine-grained structure. The experimental studies were conducted using samples of aluminum alloy 01417.
