Abstract:In order to estimate the feasibility of electromagnetic casting (EMC) for different metals, a mathematical model named the electromagnetic dimensionless number (EMDN) was presented, and its validity was proved by the experiments of aluminum and Sn-3%Pb alloy. From the experiment and the analysis of EMDN it can be concluded that the EMC of steel can be attained only when the magnetic flux density is larger than 0.09T, while that required for aluminum is only 0.04T. The mathematical expression of the electromagnetic dimensionless number was given out.
Key words: electromagnetic dimensionless number; electromagnetic casting; electromagnetic field; electromagnetic force; magnetic flux density
