Abstract
In paper problem concerning inoculation of primary structure of Al with purity of 99,5% and 99,8% and AlSi2 alloy, which is realized mainly by intensification of liquid metal movement in mould is presented. In aim of realization of forced movement during the crystallization of liquid metal was used horizontal electromagnetic field produced by the induction coil (stirrer) supplied by current with elevated frequency. The degree of structure refinement was represented mainly by equiaxed crystals zone content on transverse section of ingot and average area of macro-grain in this zone. Effect of structure refinement obtained by influence of electromagnetic stirring was compared with refinement obtained by use of traditional inoculation, which consists in introducing of additives i.e. titanium, boron and strontium to metal bath. The results of studies and their analysis show possibility of effective refinement of pure Al and Al-Si alloy primary structure, only with use of horizontal electromagnetic field and without necessity of application of inoculants such a Ti and B. This method of inoculation is important, because inoculants decrease the degree of purity and electrical conductivity of pure Al. Moreover inoculants are reason of point cracks formation during rolling of ingots.
