Abstract

This work is based on investigation of the influence of electromagnetic fields and ultrasonic vibrations and their combination on the resulting microstructure of an AA7449 aerospace aluminium alloy. The results demonstrate the application of the compound electro-magnetic and ultrasonic fields under optimum conditions delivers not only a refined microstructure but also consistent distribution of chemical composition. It suggests an alternative method for producing high strength aerospace alloys which could not be refined through conventional addition of chemical grain refiners.
