Abstract

Electromagnetic stirring and water cooling were applied to centrifugal casting of Al-25% Cu alloy. A full eutectic zone formed due to macrosegregation of Cu caused by the centrifugal force. Both electromagnetic stirring and water cooling refined the primary grains. Moreover, the equiaxed dendrites of α-Al were transformed into globular grains and the eutectic fraction in the alloy increased. These effects are attributed to increased undercooling for growth of the primary phase.
