Abstract
Effects of different pulse voltage and frequency on solidified structure of superalloy K4169 under low-voltage pulsed magnetic field (LVPMF) were investigated in this paper, and the related mechanism was also discussed. The experimental results show that grain of superalloy K4169 can be refined greatly by LVPMF treatment during the course of solidification. Growth of dendrite is restrained and primary grain is changed from large dendrites to smaller equiaxed grains. When the pulse voltage is at 0-280V, grain size of the alloy decreases as pulse voltage increases, and primary dendrites are fractured from well-developed dendrites into fine equiaxed grains and non-dendritic structures. When the pulse frequency is at 0-5Hz, the increase of pulse frequency enhances the refinement effect of LVPMF processing. With the increase of the pulse frequency, grain size of the alloy increases.
