Abstract

We propose an approach for the solidification of metallic alloys taking into account the turbulence in the liquid phase. For modeling of the turbulent flow a k-ε model is used. This model is applied for solidification of AlSi-based alloys under the action of rotating electromagnetic field of intensity up to 65mT. Two cases have been considered, namely solidification of a binary Al-7wt%Si and a ternary alloy Al-7wt%Si-1wt%Fe. It is shown that increase of the electromagnetic field leads to the formations of various types of channels.
