Effects of an intermittent permanent magnet stirring on the melt flow and grain refinement of Al–4.5Cu alloy

A novel technology, termed intermittent permanent magnet stirring (I-PMS), is proposed to improve the quality of aluminum alloy ingots. In this paper, the melt flow and solidification structure of Al–4.5Cu alloy were investigated through I-PMS. The grain refinement mechanism of I-PMS is also discuss...
