Abstract: The results of experiments and simulations show that there is a turbulent flow in the molten aluminum and it is hard to be restrained in the thin tubule (diameter of 6 mm) when the electromagnetic body force is applied. The electromagnetic elimination experimental results show that the flow has serious effect on the elimination of 5 μm alumina inclusions, but has little effect on the 30 μm and 100 μm primary silicon. The effects of the electromagnetic field and the turbulent flow on the electromagnetic elimination are discussed.
Key words: molten aluminum; electromagnetic elimination; flow; high frequency magnetic field; non-metallic inclusions
