Abstract

Large scale 30Cr2Ni4MoV ingots play a crucial role in nuclear power plants. Shrinkage and carbon segregation are the most common defects in the manufacture of these large scale ingots. Large scale ingots have very low cooling rates. In the present work, an experimental method was employed to achieve similarly low cooling rates with the aim of simulating the solidification process of large ingots in smaller 30Cr2Ni4MoV ingots.Thus, we examined the effect of surface pulsed magneto-oscillation (SPMO)on solidification structure in a laboratory setting. Our experimental results showed an SPMO treated ingot with less carbon segregation and a smaller shrinkage cavity than in an untreated one. Finally, the action mechanism was analysed by numerical simulation.
