Magnetic Field Effects on Melt Flow & Macrosegregation in TC17 Alloy
1Numerical Investigation of Axial Magnetic Field Effects on Melt Flow and Macrosegregation in TC17 Alloy Vacuum Arc Remelting
Layman's Abstract: In this study, researchers are focused on improving the production of titanium alloy ingots used in aviation, specifically how to prevent issues during the solidification process. The traditional method of making these ingots, vacuum arc remelting (VAR), can lead to defects like uneven distribution of materials, especially as the size of the ingot increases. To tackle this, an axial magnetic field (AMF) is applied to the molten metal to change how it flows, reducing these defects. By using advanced computer simulations, the researchers modeled the solidification process and compared the results to real experiments. The results showed that applying the magnetic field helps create a swirl-like flow in the molten metal, which reduces these defects and improves the final product. The study also suggests that further improvements to the model are needed, such as accounting for the crystal formation and the complex behavior of the molten material.
