Abstract

As the key parts of Electromagnetic Processing of Materials (EPM), electromagnetic stirring and low-frequency electromagnetic vibration processes have been developed to cause melt motion or vibration. In this chapter, we will firstly give a brief description of the physical principles of electromagnetic melt processing and solidification. Though partially repeating Chap. 3, it is still useful to recall them here. Next, the effects of electromagnetic stirring with a single set of induction coil and low-frequency electromagnetic vibration on heat/mass transfer and solidification structures are introduced. The last portion of this chapter deals with the casting technologies based on electromagnetic stirring and low-frequency electromagnetic vibration.
