Abstract
A comparative study on grain refinement of pure Al by applying electric current pulse (ECP) at different positions in the mould was carried out. The experimental results showed that fine equiaxed grains were generated by exerting ECP at different electrode positions, and the highest proportion of fine equiaxed grain area was obtained when ECP was applied at the upper and lower lateral wall of the mould. The refinement mechanism of exerting ECP and the reasons of different refining efficiency with various ECP employing modes were also discussed.
