Effect of electric current on the cast microstructure of Al-Si alloy

Effect of electric current on the cast microstructure of Al-Si alloy was investigated. It was found that the microstructure of Al-Si alloy was refined as the electric current was applied during solidification. When DC (Direct Current) was applied in solidification, the eutectic Si flakes are similar...
